With films that make The Simpsons look tame and with a host of Academy and festival awards under their belt, America's most anarchist animators are sure to attract a huge crowd with shorts never before seen in Australia. See America's underbelly as you have never seen it before!
Total Running Time: 106min

Oscar Programme
A very special programme of short films nominated for an Academy AwardT over the past two years. Although these nominated films are widely publicised our Australian audiences and film makers rarely get to see these films from around the world. This programme has been successfully received in over thirty cinemas in America. We believe the same programme would achieve excellent audiences both at our Sydney festival and our national tour alerting more mainstream audiences to the short film format as a quality and widely acclaimed art form in itself.
Total Running Time: 106min

It will introduce our Australian audiences to the latest in saucy short film making now all the rage in the UK. A super late night Flickerfest special!
