What is a Gay Short Film?Ī gay short film is an original motion picture with a running time of 40 minutes or less focusing on a topic relevant to the LGBTQ community or focusing an LGBTQ cast. Many of these can easily be found on YouTube and you will notice a lot of common themes amongst them coming out, bullying, break ups and secret love to name a few. Whilst there are more and more full-length gay films available (check out the Best Gay Movies on Netflix), historically these have been few and far between which is why directors have often turned to gay short films instead. There are so many incredible gay short films and movies available, it was hard to narrow them down to this shortlist.
