starladyThere are many excellent Festivids this year, many of which I've not had time to watch and many of which have been rec'd elsewhere. But I wanted to put in a plug for Soon Love Soon, a Festivid set to Cloud Atlas (2012): We will know that to be a part is to be truly whole.
I watched the movie with my sister over the holiday break and found myself really, really liking it, and wishing I'd gone to see it in the theater. The movie has issues (though I would argue that the casting choices are on some level an attempt to put the message of the book into practice; the problem is that we don't live in the best of all possible worlds), but it's a really fascinating movie, and also very moving, perhaps to me partly because I absolutely adore the book.
At any rate, the vid is wonderful--I started crying about halfway through and was sobbing like a child by the end. It really captures the heart of the book, and the point of the movie: The fate of one is the fate of all.
