We receive brilliant short films every single day, but then there are the ones that will just blow us away. We took a steep look back at our Daily Short Picks from 2017, and selected a handful of our favorites to reminisce the films that really stuck in our minds.

A little different from our Top 10 Shorts of the year, these simply highlight some of the most memorable shorts from our Daily Short Picks batches. So take the time and watch each one of these, as they will surely captivate you with either their twisted storylines, impressive VFX, or simply by unexpected star presences. This first edition focuses on the Science Fiction selections, stay tuned in the coming weeks for the other genres.
