A competitive category for sure, though with Learning to Skateboard... recently scooping the BAFTA for Best British Short Film, it feels like the one to beat.

This is by far the toughest shorts category to predict, with Brotherhood and The Neighbors' Window both proving especially strong contenders. Given its more urgently political bent, though, it'll probably go to Brotherhood.
