This clever little short confirms my suspicions about cats, and how much I enjoy the subtlety of Patrick Carlyle's work in both drama and comedy. Carlyle recently starred in Cameron Beyl's "So Long Lonesome." view

Who says you need advanced computer graphics to illustrate life in the 21st century? The creation of a San Francisco area comic strip artist known as Lev, “How to Break Up” does a fine job with just stick figure drawings and basic animation. The tools of choice appear to be rice paper, magic marker, and time honored tragic tales of the heart. view

This finally settles the age-old question: can birds play electric guitar? This clip, created as an art piece for the Barbican Centre in London, isn't exactly musically accurate (as in, the little chirpers aren't really doing anything), but it sure is cute. view

Stick around till the 1:40 mark in this clip from one of Werner Herzog's best films, "Stroszek." A real premature baby shows us that every human being is born with the ability to dream and the will to survive. I know that sounds corny, but this is a beautiful scene. view

How can blind people shape a form in their head of something they have never seen? A young lady's beauty is a cross between aesthetic allure and attraction force... this is something that every heterosexual male can understand and appreciate with his own eyes. Do the blind experience this force of attraction the same way? This short brings us intimately close to a beautiful young girl while simulating the experience of a blind man who otherwise would have no perception of her at all... Close your eyes and imagine a world filled with thoughts, sound, and beauty.
