This is a really cool -
and very different type of online video contest - Pin the
Tail on the Culture, Inc. announces a contest to find
the most beautiful walker in the USA.
In an effort to support and promote the aesthetics of
curvaceous beautifully walking women, the
company will award three prizes to the best entries. (Note
that we’re NOT saying beautiful walking women,
but beautifully walking women—the face is
irrelevant, only the walk is important.) The company
will showcase all acceptable entries on the company’s
contest website,
http://www.poetryinmotion.info along with links to the
contestant’s web address or email. When winners are picked
in January 2007, they’ll be announced on the site.

the pro-war movement tell you the real reasons they support

and sometimes shocking, this video will give you new insight
into what is causing the polarization of American politics.

is working to create a new breed of political documentary
which informs, entertains and considers different points

Times or on CBS News.
Mix a
little politics, current events with some cool Latin
tinged rap, and you get Alfa's controversial video "SI
SE PUEDE!!!". Its all about the plight of undocumented
workers in the US.

Media That Matters
Film Festival is the premiere showcase for short films

From gay
rights to global warming, the jury-selected collection
represents the work of a diverse group of independent
filmmakers, many of whom are under 21. The films are equally
diverse in style and content, with documentaries, music
videos, animations, experimental work and everything else in
between. What all the films have in common is that they
spark debate and action in 8 minutes or less.

The site has some very interesting videos as well as links
to a variety of activist organizations and causes.
