Lühistub

Lühistub is a term of Estonian origin that translates to "short film" in English. It refers to a cinematic work with a running time significantly shorter than a feature film, typically ranging from a few minutes to around 40 minutes. Short films can encompass a wide variety of genres and styles, including animation, documentary, drama, comedy, and experimental. They are often produced as a stepping stone for aspiring filmmakers to showcase their talent, to explore specific themes or ideas, or as a medium for artistic expression. Many film festivals around the world feature dedicated sections for short films, providing a platform for their exhibition and recognition. The production of lühistub can vary greatly in budget and scale, from independent projects made with minimal resources to professionally produced works by established studios. They are an integral part of the broader film landscape, contributing to the diversity and innovation within the art form.
