Thank you for making a vid for me! I spent much of the last year working on my Jews dancing fanvid "The Sequel" and as a result, the tiny fandoms that I was left wanting more vids for are all fandoms in which Jews dance. Well, with three notable exceptions.
Ushpizin
I love this movie's blend of deep realism and spiritual possibility, the ushpizin who are at once unwelcome and unpleasant guests and also harbingers of a higher kind of visitor. At its heart this is the story about all of the complexities of a marriage and I'd love to see a vid exploring that marriage.
Cupcakes
I sure could use a bright technicolor joyful vid about this bright technicolor joyful movie.
The Last Five Years
I was really excited when this was finally filmed, I've seen it on stage multiple times. I love how intricately plotted and specific it is. I think a really interesting thing a vid might do is play with how the show thinks about time. A vid that moves straight from beginning to end, or a vid that moves backwards from end to beginning, would be a really striking way to present a different view of this relationship.
Party Down
Anything that captures the show's magical, alchemical balance of affection for its downtrodden heroes and clear-eyed recognition of their many faults would be appreciated.
Le Chat du rabbin | The Rabbi's Cat
Go big or go home, on this one. This is such a beautiful movie, it highlights the art in motion so well, and I'd love to see a distillation of the visual delights The Rabbi's Cat has to offer.
Holiday Date
Mistletoe and Menorahs
Double Holiday
Last December we were blessed with all three of these terrible 'holiday romances', Hallmark Channel and Lifetime Channel's ill-conceived efforts to be inclusive by making movies in which Jews ended up dating Christians and negotiating the Christmas/Hanukkah season together. All three of them are beholden to Christian hegemony and none of them make sense Jewishly at all. And Jews do not dance in them.
I don't expect that you offered any of these movies, but they are silly and slight and go by quickly, and if you end up stuck on your original offer, I'd love it if you tried to make a vid playing with these three movies together in any combination.
