Learn Self Defense has so far screened in over 70 festivals in over 15 countries. But who the hell goes to film festivals? Here is an update on how normal, decent people can have a chance to see the short:

DVD
As of this writing, Learn Self Defense is included in 3 separate DVD collections:
- Best of SIGGRAPH 2005 Animation Festival DVD
- Pictoplasma Characters In Motion Collection DVD
- The upcoming SHORTS! Volume 4 DVD, which will be released in 2007(?) and will include two commentary tracks from Chris Harding and his mom.

Television
For those of you who live in Spain or Switzerland and you keep your eyes open, you’ll be able to catch Learn Self Defense on your very own TV set next year. As for the rest of the countries on Earth, you’ll just have to be patient… probably VERY patient. Maybe someday it will air in the US, but probably not…

Theatrical
It also looks like Learn Self Defense will play in the next Spike & Mike Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation tour. Check the Spike and Mike Web site, because they add dates constantly.

They’ll also likely put out some kind of DVD. (but Chris Harding doesn’t share any revenue action from that, so buy the SHORTS! Volume IV collection mentioned above instead– it has a commentary track!)
