We’ve added six new free indie short films to our library. These films tell stories that come from all around the world ranging from being a tribute to Romanian art from the twentieth century to telling a simple cautionary tale about why you should never mess with a baby rhinoceros. Here are the six newest films on Reveel.
1. The Blissful Accidental Death
This film provides one of the most unique cinematic experiences that you will probably ever have. The Blissful Accidental Death has beautiful animation and an even more beautiful story. The story came alive when the director, Sergiu Negulici, met with the famous painter, Medi Wechsler Dinu at 105yrs old after discovering a small, old drawing in an antique shop with a love letter on the back, implying a secret love story between a famous poet and a painter (Medi Dinu), a secret that was kept for 80 years. The film is a personal interpretation of Dinu’s life and imagines the moment she wrote about, dreaming “a blissful accidental death.”

2. Sky Shelter
Sky Shelter is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi that feels as if the short film is a part of a larger story. The world-building and VFX are impressive and only add to the immersion of the film. The synopsis reads: Ryan had already resigned himself to his fate as a solder hiding from the apocalyptic postwar regime when a wandering stranger crosses his borders. Although everything in Ryan resists, a long-forgotten hope to turn the tide reawakens in him.

3. Snowdrifters
It’s usually a good idea in most situations to avoid approaching a wild baby animal. The parent is generally nearby and will perceive any approach to their youngster as a threat. Snowdrifters takes this idea to a new prehistoric world, centering around a rhinoceros. The synopsis for the film reads: In a land of humans and dinosaurs, a girl and her raptor go out in search of herbs for a sick partner. In their hunt for flowers, the raptor accidentally spooks a baby hornface, and inadvertently sets off a chain of events that keeps putting the girl and the raptor between the baby and its fiercely protective parents.
