This video was made by Adcom to promote the Creative Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. As children, we dream impossible dreams. We do not calculate pros and cons; we just launch ourselves into action. As we grow older we learn that we need to be more careful, more...
Cupidon, made by a group from ESMA in Montpellier, France is a short animation, which tells the story of what happens when Cupid accidently shoots two arrows into the same person. Pierre (he needs a name, and Pierre will do!) proceeds to fall in love with himself....
“We’ve been lied to, and somehow we are okay with it. Have you looked around? I mean, really seen what is happening? The pain is real. We got used to it. Let me ask you something: why are you here? … Do you think someday freedom will just come? What if, one night at...
When I saw this video, I couldn't help but smile. It is an extremely creative and fun "remix" of a few words of our beloved Saint John Paul II. They are words full of vitality and truth that point us to Jesus Christ. Still, it is the joy, the conviction, and the love...
This video, made by Igniter Media, made me think of my grandmother, who was always reminding the rest of us to “count our blessings”. Short and sweet, the video reminds us that we have things to be thankful for, and that we should be thankful for them. Watching...
This short video is based in Paris in the year 2020. A beautiful couple enjoys a day taking pictures together. Then, suddenly, everything changes. The technologically advanced brilliant holograms and digital streams until it comes face to face with a strange...
This video, from 2005, is the speech given by George W. Bush on the death of St.Pope John Paul II. One world leader with international influence speaks of his regard for another such leader, describing him as humble, wise, fearless and great. He tells of how the...
Every decision, every look, every gesture, every thought, every feeling… everything can be defined at heart using two terms: love or hate. Among the infinite number of grades and degrees, we constantly plot either one course or another for our life. This video was...
If you play or have ever played soccer, I think you will especially appreciate this spectacular, stunning video. Aside from the fact the Nico Calabria plays many sports (he’s even climbed Kilimanjaro), what impressed me particularly was his scissor-kick goal. I...
Today we share a very simple video, no less meaningful in its contents for all its simplicity (appearances can be deceiving). A video like this, with its sweet melody, hides a rousing rallying call for those who persist in thinking that faith is already...
Today’s video responds in a refreshing and appealing way to some of the most common and constant accusations against the faith and the Church in our day: the false equivalence between faith and irrationality, the false dichotomy between faith and science, the mistaken...
“What is invisible? There’s more of it than you think actually. Everything, I would say, everything that matters, except everything… and matter. We can see matter but we can’t see what’s the matter…” John Lloyd, the speaker behind this genial introduction to...
It’s evident that speaking and reflecting upon the reality and damage that pornography is causing in our homes and in our society today is not at all pleasurable. As with everything, there are times to talk and times to be silent. Nevertheless, if we are to...
Catholic-link.com – There’s a flu that’s spreading upon the airs of a certain selective amnesia. It affects our friends, our family, our homes, and our own interior. Few speak of it, and countless try to ignore or “forget” about it. The patients are disoriented and...
Besides the cultural interest, the video could provide you with an opportunity to explain the importance of locating ourselves within history. Ever since God became man and, in doing so, inserted himself in a particular way in our time, history has become an even more...
A while back a few of us in my community stumbled upon an impressive series of videos done about the Gospels. Here is one that depicts the Savior's parable of the good Samaritan, in which a man is robbed and beaten by thieves, and a Samaritan shows mercy on him (Luke...
From the moment of humankind’s first sin, the sweet harmony between words and action has proved to be impressively elusive. And the fact that it is something common in all of our lives can make us dangerously insensible to it. The video– sponsored by the Thai Health...
A look, a fleeting glance, when motivated by a love that is pure and authentic, can generate a remarkably strong attraction. The two are intimately linked: purity and attraction. Lose the first, and the second is weakened and emptied immeasurably. This short film,...
"Doll Face" is a video published by Global Short Film Network and made by Andy Huang. It proposes a critique about how we understand our relationship with the media and the paradigms that they present. In the first place, it's important to recognize that the...
"Lone ranger", "independent", "self-made man/woman", "do-it-yourself" are just a few common phrases that we hear a lot. There is definitely something positive to being capable of doing things alone, but why has it become an all-important virtue? Why is doing something...
A few months ago I began to watch a series in my community called "Blue Bloods". The series follows an Irish-American family of police officers in the NYPD, called the "Reagan." Justice, integrity, a tight-knit family, and explicit Catholic values are all whipped up...
Security cameras just catch the wrongdoers, right? This short advertisement by Coca-Cola reminds us that good thing are recorded too. Daily we are bombed with messages of crisis, war, theft, hate, murder, etc... And while they certainly exist, we aren't being told the...
Here's an illustrative video on happiness. It's simple and well done. It could be useful for starting a conversation on the type of "formulas" we find in our lives and then comparing them with what Christ teaches. A few thoughts that I would add to the video's...
Here is an excellent video for those doing apostolate with married couples or those preparing for marriage. It leaves us with an impactful and real testimony of what it means to be authentically committed to loving one another in marriage. What is marriage? I once had...
The fact that this music video has 22,000,000 visits speaks of its caliber. Chris Medina (singer) released this song the day after his elimination on American Idol. It voices the trauma suffered by his fiancée, who suffered a brain injury as the result of a car...
