The British Short Film Awards were founded in 2020 to celebrate the incredible talent in short films from Great Britain and around the world. The first annual awards ceremony took place online in December 2021 and featured Academy Award winners Peter Capaldi and Rachel Shenton as hosted by Alex Zane. The body behind the show also provided funding to Hear Art, a charity that aims to provide funding for underrepresented filmmakers.
