Sweet Videos

Signs (Schweppes Short Film Festival) from A Patrick Hughes Film on YouTube
I've been enjoying the www.france24.com newsite and came across this delightful short film from 2009! It is from Austrailian Director Patrick Hughes and was featured in the Schweppes Short Film Festival.

It speaks of the power of connecting with another person and the simple (low-tech) ways of communication that can be used to do it. In these days of internet social networking sites, it's fun to see this non-web yet likewise distant relationship featured in the film.

Definitely a day brightener. Follow this link to see the film yourself if the embeded video doesn't work.

2016 Update comment: A 2012 animated film has a similar theme with an imaginative twist.
