Lithuanian Shorts 2024–2025: A Fresh Selection of Lithuanian Short Films
Today, the Lithuanian short film agency Lithuanian Shorts presents the 14th edition of the Lithuanian short film catalogue. As is tradition, just days before the world’s largest short film festival and market in Clermont-Ferrand (France), a fresh collection of the latest works by Lithuanian filmmakers is presented. The Lithuanian Shorts 2024–2025 catalogue features a record number of films — 40 works, including films that have already started their festival journey or are waiting for their premieres and works from Lithuanian filmmakers in the final stages of production.
The 14th catalogue is notable for its diversity in forms and contexts — ranging from intimate personal stories to the analysis of societal phenomena, from traditional narrative structures to bold experimental cinematic choices. The films included cover a wide range of themes: the search for cultural identity, the depths of emotional experiences, interpersonal relationships, personal growth, and fragments of changing cities. These stories help filmmakers reveal their unique creative signatures, while offering the international film industry an opportunity to get to know Lithuanian cinema and its creators. Among the 40 latest short films, there are 25 fiction films, 7 animated films, 6 documentaries, and one experimental and one hybrid film.
Lithuanian Shorts has been publishing the catalogue annually since 2012. The main goal of this publication is to promote the names of Lithuanian filmmakers and their works, introducing them to industry professionals at international festivals and markets. The catalogue is intended for festival programmers, film production, distribution, and sales companies, as well as representatives of television and home cinema platforms seeking new talent and works. Since 2021, the catalogue has been available in a virtual format.
The latest Lithuanian Shorts 2024–2025 catalogue serves as a virtual film database and will be available throughout 2025.
The compilation of the catalogue was partially funded by the Lithuanian Film Centre.
