Film clips - new online library
Posted by: Rosemary, 01 September 2010
If you are interested in using film shorts in the classroom, MiShorts might be just the sort of stimulus you are looking for. This online library contains over 750 quality titles divided into twelve categories that can be watched as free streams or downloaded at up to HD quality for as little as £0.65.
The MiShorts film library includes a wide range of free content, commissioned from specialist providers or produced in-house. Explore the ‘Youth’ category, and look for ‘Breaking Down Barriers’ and ‘Keeping the Peace’ - how might these be used in the RE classroom to stimulate discussion, and perhaps prompt students to make their own film shorts?
MiShorts is far more than a film library. Other facilities are outlined in the pdf document below, and include: Podcasts (a recommended short film podcast); Vodcasts (a fortnightly Vodcast containing news, views and interviews); Toolbox (a wide variety of information and resources for indie filmmakers and fans); Film of the Month and Critics Choice; Reviews and Ratings; Filmmaker Directory; Filmmaker’s blog; Free downloads; Free streams; Channels.
If you are at all interested in film shorts, the best thing is to log on and explore MiShorts!
