Global Shorts Film Club | Archive

Short films are a fantastic classroom resource, and there are so many moving, funny, challenging and provocative shorts freely available online. Each month, members of Global Shorts – our monthly GISIG film club – receive a ticket of curated links to short films on global issues themes to use with their students.

Collections lasts no more than 30 minutes in total, although individual films vary from 1 min – 30 mins in length. Focusing on issues of social and environmental justice, these shorts might be animations, documentaries, adverts, infomercials, narratives or drama, comedy or campaign videos – anything goes, as long as they have the potential to be used as texts in our language classrooms. For this reason, the films we share are predominantly in English, but we aim to include as wide a variety of different Englishes as possible.
