About 18 years ago, SBS showed a series of short films collectively titled The Forbidden Files, by director Jean-Teddy Filippe. I remember watching these as a teen and having my mind blown to smithereens. A few years ago, something reminded me of them and I began hunting around online, but I didn't remember the title or the director. Eventually I found a lead and recently they all went up on the internet. I feared that they wouldn't be as good as I remembered them, but fortunately, they are. Here they are. Start with number 1 (bottom of list) and work through in order. When they video plays, make sure "Original" is selected from the language drop-down menu. Enjoy. They're are absolutely awesome.

PressPausePlay "The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature or is true talent instead flooded and drowned in the vast digital ocean of mass culture? Is it cultural democracy or mediocrity? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world's most influential creators of the digital era." Interesting & inspirational, definitely worth a watch if you're an artist, have any interest in creativity or todays media sharing & accessibility.
