Kinofilm Winners – British Short Film Awards

We are proud to announce the 17th edition of the Kino British Shorts Festival Awards that took place Sunday 24th Oct 2021

The 17th KINOFILM Festival last night held the Kino British Shorts Awards and we’re proud to announce to audiences and filmmakers of the winning films. Time to look back and reflect on the amazing array of British short films we were proud to showcase this year.

Though originally scheduled to to take place in March 2020, the awards ceremony is 19 months late due to Covid lockdowns, but we considered it still important to awards some of these fantastic films even if many of them had reached the end of their festival life. With over 160 shorts in our 17th Festival – mostly British – the jury with members from Poland, Italy, USA and the UK, buckled down from some massive viewing sessions and came up with the following results.

Thanks to all our jury members for the task of viewing and appraising all the wonderful films. We hope you agree they have made some great decisions!
