The T-Short Animated Film Festival is an annual international event dedicated to auteur animation, held in Karlsruhe, Germany. The festival screens short animated films, typically under 15 minutes, with a preference for abstract, experimental, and surreal styles, and is aimed at an adult audience. In addition to physical screenings at Kinemathek Karlsruhe cinema, the festival also offers an online component accessible to residents of Germany and festival participants. The name "T-Short" is a pun combining "T-Shirt" with "short film."
