Overview

Alien may have told you “In space no one can hear you scream” but it was wrong!

The SSFX (Space Sound Effects) project has challenged independent filmmakers from around the world to create short films incorporating a series of strange sounds from space. These noises have all been recorded by satellites, and are currently being studied by space physicists. The results are a collection of videos, spanning a wide array of topics and genres, connected only by these sounds.

Hear from the scientists and filmmakers involved with the project in this dynamic discussion, and watch snippets of the highly creative results.
