We’ve had a very busy year touring the SSFX shorts around the world, with some tremendous successes from our filmmakers. With the tour soon to wrap up, we’re pleased to announce that the anthology film linking together all our short films will be released online for free later this year. Watch this space for more!

One of the SSFX Short Films, Astroturf, has won the Best Experimental Film Award at this year’s SCInema International Science Film Festival. The judges commented that “This clever film takes the old adage ‘in space no one can hear you scream’ and turns it on its head.” Astroturf, along with the other winners, will tour cinemas around Australia over the next few months.

You can find out more about the film in this Q&A from our festival:

There’s no answer when time is the question. Featuring 35mm slides found in a medical archive, this sci-fi story concerns unknown phenomena that made all organic processes so fast as to make life impossible.
