What happens

Shh. is a 2001 Australian animated short film written and directed by Adam Robb, and featuring original music by Justin Marshall. Robb made the 2D hand-drawn animation as his major production while studying animation under Andi Spark and Paul Fletcher at the Victorian College of the Arts School of Film and Television. Shh. premiered at the VCA School of Film and Television Graduate Screenings on December 12, 2001, where it won the Village Roadshow Pictures award for Best Production. In 2002 and 2003 the film was screened internationally at over a dozen film festivals. It won several major awards, including the 2002 AFI Award for Best Short Animation, the 2002 St. Kilda Film Festival Audience Choice Award, and the FIPRESCI Prize (Special Mention) at the 2002 Annecy International Animated Film Festival, "for the clarity and subtlety with which it...used animation to express its message." Robb said he aimed to combine "the political, the personal and the bizarre" in order "to make audiences think." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
