Our 2025 Shorts Programs are made possible through the generosity of long-time ImageOut supporters David D. Emert and Jon P. Templin.

Our lived experiences are the stories unfurling the collective co-creation of history. Short Docs highlights stories from around the world that explore points of intersection where individual lives meet the reality of the political present. Each story offers a unique understanding of our past and a wishful intention for our future. The films in this series encourage us to open our hearts and minds to the connection between story and community. Grab a friend and some popcorn, in the theater or at home, and enjoy these short documentaries.
