Mumbai: ShortsTV, the 24x7 linear channel for short format content is all set to broadcast unseen short films of Jim Henson for their subscribers on Tata Sky, Airtel TV, Dish TV, and d2h. 

The HD TV channel will telecast Jim Henson: The Early Works, which is a group of short films that will give viewers a slice of Jim Henson's life. The most noted one among these short films is Time Piece made in 1965. The film is written, directed, and produced by Henson, and he himself has starred in this film. 

Time Piece depicts an ordinary man living in constant motion, in a desperate attempt to escape the passage of time. It is one of the few live-action projects produced by Jim Henson that did not involve any form of puppetry. The short film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film in 1966.

Other films on the list are Alexander The grape, Wheels that go, Run Run, Shearing Animation, Cat and Mouse, Drum West, and Ripples. Each of these short films showcases the events that made the American puppeteer famous over the years.
