Saturday slumgullion #3

Linkfest again:

Canada's MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) has created a 30-second public information spot illustrating how drinking and driving will not only leave you in a wheelchair, it will deprive you of your best friend and your girlfriend as they abandon you for a romantic relationship together. You'll be left to watch from the window of an institution-white room as they lead lives of romance and happiness that you can never have. Commentary at Ouch! worth reading, as well as a more detailed written description of the video, if you need it.

Remember the joy of cartwheels? Rettdevil brings it all back, along with some extra joy of accomplishment as well.

Check out the artwork of Susan Dupor, a Deaf woman who says her work often expresses her "primary visual language."

The 2006 winners at Film Your Issue include a video called "Thumbs Down to Pity" by 19-year-old Benjamin Short. His is the third video clip of the five winners, with the semi-finalists available to view below that.

Million Dollar Bigot, a 19-minute documentary response to Million Dollar Baby. I'd heard about this project quite some time ago, but only saw it recently. If you take the time to watch, see it through to the end for a fun story by John Hockenberry.
