After a world tour which has seen the short films from the SSFX project tour 16 film festivals across 8 countries and at over 500 different events, we now release our anthology film online for free. Watch it now!

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:
