'Mr Schwartz, Mr Hazen

SOS is back with more of the latest and greatest shorts and now you can stream them online!

This week's shorts are for all you animation lovers out there. SOS features a variety of animation techniques in films such as: the CG animated/live-action film Terminus; the  beautiful stop-motion animaed The Luminary;  black & white hand-drawn animated Who I am and What I Want  (by David Shrigley & Chris Shepherd) and the animated documentary The First Thing I Remember.

Be suer to keep an eye out for Stephen Muller's little gem Mr Schwartz, Mr Hazen & Mr Horlocker (pictured). Interwoven in SOS is the first five episodes of Errorism: A comedy of terrors  a funny little tongue-in-cheek series from the talented team based in South Australia called The People's Republic of Animation. We end with a music tribute claymation number called Dehors Novembre from Canada. C

SOS screens on Saturday at 11.45 pm and check out some of the films online from Sunday!

Hey garry. I know you posted your question over a year ago. Hope you've been able to figure out what SOS stands for. But just incase you haven't, and it's driving you nuts, SOS stands for Shorts on Screen- at least as far as i know...

16th August ep.

One film from tonights episode of SOS really stuck with me, it was called 'Sahara'... I have no idea where to find any information on it, when searching it seems to not exist. Help? Where on earth can I find it? It was from the Nederlands if that helps...

20th June 09 SOS

I've had a look at the schedule, but none of the films listed matched up. I caught the last bit of a short film just before 12:30am, there was a man, he kept saying "I could never hurt you" and you hear a weak diminutive voice "come lie next to me" and he walks to the bed, takes his shirt off and lies down, the girl is naked, her skin perfectly white and smooth, the camera moves up and her face is deformed, puddle of blood streaming on the pillow, she was beaten up. Help? What's this film??

Great shorts, Terrific exposure, shame it's on so late

I've caught the SOS shorts a few times and LOVE it, I know a lot of people who do enjoy watching. Also, as someone who is invovled in the world of short film production it is a terrific opportunity to get exposure for your films as shorts need all the help they can to be seen by the general public. Bit of a shame that they are on at such a late hour on a Saturday night.
