Lamb and man win SXSWclick

Pinny Grylls' doc "Peter and Ben," about a man and his lamb, has won SXSW's online festival, SXSWclick.
It's in English, subtitled in English and lamb. When the lambs says "Baaah" the subtitle reassures you: "Baaah!" Watch it here.
The jury included actor Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), comedians Eugene Mirman and Doug Benson (Super High Me), producers Anish Savjani (Old Joy) and Mary Sweeney (The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive), animator Don Hertzfeldt (Rejected), among others.
SXSW also announced a call-for-entries for the 2009 event, running March 13-21. Rules and apps here.
