The Nyuggle
In “Tales of the Creepy Crooked,” Lee Kern has created a series of shorts investigating the myths and mysteries of the British Isles. Here, he considers the horrifying tale of the Nyuggle.
Crazy Dolphins vs. the Mad Cows
What's really scarier: Karate-chopping mad cows, or the dolphins who fight them?
We’re extremely proud to present “Crazy Dolphins vs. the Mad Cows,” by Ian Stewart, an animated exposé about how mad cow disease is now killing dolphins. Via karate.
We have no idea how they came up with this stuff, but we could listen to these kids spin their yarns all day long.
“Crazy Dolphins” comes to you through our new partnership with Rooftop Films. (The first film, “South Central Farmers,” debuted Wednesday.) Read more about Rooftop Films here. And check out its summer festival schedule here.
South Central Farmers
A documentary short on a rare -- and embattled -- patch of green in Los Angeles.
Salon and Video Dog are very excited about a new partnership with Rooftop Films, a terrific Brooklyn, N.Y., group celebrating the 10th year of its film series, which appears on rooftops in and around New York City all summer long. We’ll be screening at least one film a week, on Friday afternoons, from Rooftop’s summer series. We know you’ll enjoy them.
First up is “South Central Farmers,” by Ross Guidici, about 14 acres of farmland in Los Angeles that helps feed 350 low-income families, and the farmers’ battle with a wealthy land developer who has acquired the land and threatens to kick them off. [Spoiler alert: After the film was finished, the farmers lost their last appeal, and just today the land was bulldozed.]

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the kitty and monkey sleep tonight.
Jason Takata sends in this photo, and writes: “I took this picture while I was in Nkata Bay Malawi. These two are named Mango & Chutney. The monkey loves the cat, but the cat is indifferent towards the monkey.” (Which makes us wonder: Is monkey/kitty love becoming the cool new thing to do?)
