Remixing European Film

Here is a twofer: an interesting example of remixing preexisting works plus a window into content cultural differences between the United States and Europe.

The European Commission’s MEDIA website is currently promoting its efforts in supporting film in Europe with four compiled video clips showing different emotions. Clips capture joy, love and sadness, but it is the fourth clip that is getting the blogging attention (you can watch a version of it at the European Commission site or at YouTube).

On the cultural differences, note the extensive financing of film by the European Union plus note that the fourth clip is NOSFWUS (not obviously safe for work in the United States). (Hat tip: Internet Ronin via Althouse.)
