Let's talk about awesome short films

The internet is a strange and wonderful place. Just thought I'd share some of the good stuff that's out there (that isn't about adorable kittens).

Our Time is Up

A short film about a successful therapist who goes through some unexpected life changes.

Thought of You

Hands down, one of my absolute favorite videos on youtube. It really makes you appreciate the human figure in motion.

Crater Face

Keep an eye on the name Skylar Page. He's going to be big someday. An absolutely precious short about an astronaut who is also a total bro.

The Backwater Gospel

A dark film about fear.

Gift of Ages

A short flash animation by one of my favorite contemporary artists, John Su about the origins of Santa Claus.

All About My Dog Marimo

This video will make you cry. I don't even particularly like dogs and this is amazing.

Niggers Niggas Niggaz

This isn't technically a film, it's a spoken poem. But I think it's powerful, and it brings up some interesting thoughts, especially in light of the "re-propositioning" of the word "slut", which is part of the campaign of Slutwalk.

Eagles are Turning People into Horses

Britanic is a comedic genius and you should watch all of their videos, starting with this one.

The Cat Piano

Part poetry. Part movie. All art.

Table 7

A couple is having a conversation, but their every word is being recorded. Everything is not as it seems.

Out of Sight

A beautifully animated Chinese short.


And there you have it, a short(?) list of some very excellent videos. Like what you see? Know some great videos that weren't listed? Share them in a comment below!
