National Short Film Day is observed worldwide every December 28 to celebrate the art of short films and their impact on cinema. The date commemorates the first commercial public screening of short films, which took place on December 28, 1895, featuring ten short films, each under a minute long, by Auguste and Louis Lumière. Established by Film Movement in 2019, the holiday aims to highlight the significance of short films, which are often created by independent filmmakers to showcase their skills and gain experience. Celebrations typically involve watching short films, attending screening events, hosting watch parties, or sharing favorite short films on social media using the hashtags #NationalShortFilmDay and #ShortFilmDay. Additionally, individuals may engage in creating their own short films, often requiring preparation and creativity.
