Personally, I prefer 5-20 minute movies with both width and depth. Would like to have a natural science focus, especially physics-related.
Here are two of my favorites on YouTube. Time-related.

One-Minute Time Machine (5:40)
A kind of "multi-world generator" with a delete button and quantum mechanical "teleportation".



FTL (16:23)
A kind of sci-fi teleportation. Happy end with two fascinating, beautiful alien space ships. Like swirling 4D puzzle pieces?
I would like to see the design drawing for them. Together with a complete reference design (how to build and operate an alien space ship).]

There’s a YouTube channel, DUST that’s dedicated to sci fi short films. The ones I’ve seen are pretty good although you feel sad when they end so quickly:

It would be good to provide links to your favorites so we didn’t have to search for them.
I think I've watched at least half of the "DUST" videos. Too many good ones to list.
Here's one that I found that I really enjoyed.
I don't think it's on DUST, so I'm guessing that YouTube suggested it to me one day:
