“although it’s only twenty seconds there’s a bunch of stuff from DVblog in it:
iggy’s hand, the gnarls barkley video, a piece from the nuclear attack video,

Lost Worlds
Wakefield Gala – clip (1920s?, 1.1MB, 23 sec.)
Munitions Factory – clip (1940s, 884KB, 21 sec.)
Berry Picking – clip (1950s ?, 891KB, 20 sec.)
Three clips from the Yorkshire Film Archive in the UK.
& a glimpse of some lost worlds.
It’s a crime more of these films are not digitised & available
for immediate view & that the online documentation is so poor.
Makes one doubly thankful for the wonderful Prelinger Archive…
Chinese Shorts
‘Train’ by Yang Zhi Fei (2005, 1.8MB, 1:02 min)
‘here and there everywhere’ by Wang Weijie
(2005, 0.7MB, 1:00 min)
‘camera 0’ by Ying Jian (2005, 1.8MB 1:00 min)
‘city space’ by Wei Na (2005, 1.8MB 1:01 min)
Four recent Chinese shorts featured on the
(rather confusingly organised) theoneminutes.org site.
(Which site also boasts the rather alarming archive
category: science and miracles).
The site’s quality control is a bit variable,
however these four are great – despite image
quality not being brilliant, their sparkiness &
originality sing through.
