At the very heart of it, John Mark Fitzpatrick’s Grey Moth produced short Outdoors is a love story. Two men meet in the park, a chance encounter where that immediate, palpable chemistry exudes from the screen. What follows is an all too relatable shift, after experiencing true and heartfelt intimacy, where protective barriers are put up. Filmmaker Fitzpatrick – who also co-wrote the BAFTA-nominated short Wren Boys – wanted to explore the invisible barriers that we all feel compelled to hide behind and Outdoors takes us through an emotionally charged and absorbing journey which demonstrates that there is often more to people than meets the eye.

If you’re a fan of short films, the London Film Festival has made access to watching the highlights of their programme this year as accessible as it’s ever been. There’s the option to watch these films, as they should be seen, on the big screen across venues in London but there’s also the option to check them out from home on the BFI Player, for free, from the 5th to the 23rd October. And what a selection there is! What struck me most this year was the experimentation in these short films. Each of them in their own way is in conversation with the form and either deconstructs it or ignores its conventions in favour of charting new territory. If you’re looking to start your watching but not sure where to begin, check out Dn’s list of recommendations below which features ten short films we believe are must-sees.
