Splitscreen; A Love Story.

This is here for no better reason than I think it is really great short. It was shot entirely on the Nokia N8 mobile phone and is the winner of the Nokia Shorts competition 2011. The fact it was shot on two Metros is another plus, obviously! For the anoraks among you they are Metro de Paris and MTA, New York with shots of Gare de Nord and Grand Central although the clip ends in London.

The Girl in the Cafe

Robin Hood Tax

I’m grateful to my good buddy on the Blogosphere “The Girl in the Café” (see the site on my Blogroll under Blogs I Like) for the heads up on this excellent video on the Robin Hood Tax. The girl has one of the loveliest sites around and is, let us be honest, a bit of a Bill Nighy obsessive. Indeed the site takes its name from a short movie featuring the self same Bill!

This is a campaign video by Richard Curtis and Bill Nighy, about the Robin Hood Tax, a tiny tax on bank transactions that could raise hundreds of billions for public services and to tackle poverty and climate change at home and around the world. Add your own voice to the campaign at;
