British Academy Film Award / Best Short Film
Winners and nominees in the category Best Short Film (Best Short Film) since it was first presented at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA Awards) in 1960. In 1969, no prize was awarded in the category. The category was named from 1973 to 1976 John Grierson Award , with which the documentary film director John Grierson, who died in 1972, was honored. From 1977 the category operated under different names, so from 1977 to 1979 prizes were awarded in the subcategories Best Fictional Short Film and Best Documentary Short Film, whereby only 1978 films were nominated or awarded for the best fictional short film. In 1984, in addition to the best short film, a prize was awarded for the best animated short film ; It was not until 1990 that this category became a fixed price category at the BAFTAs.
