Looking for Suggestions - History Vidshow

[cosmic_llin]

I'm running a history-themed vidshow for this year's VidUKon, and I'm currently looking for recs!

I'm after any and all vids with historical settings, but I'm especially keen to hear ideas about less popular historical eras, non-Western history and marginalised people in history, since I figure those will probably be harder to track down and I want to have a broad variety of things!

You are very much encouraged to self-rec if you have something you think might fit the bill! :D

Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but Kay made a lovely Last Samurai vid focusing on Hiroyuki Sanada and Ken Watanabe's characters (with no recognizable shots of Tom Cruise). It's on our site, which is password protected, but set up with automatic email reply.

That sounds interesting, thank you! :D

Having trouble with the link right now, but how about Amy's lovely Goodbye Lenin vid?

[cosmic_llin]

That is an excellent thought! :D

Oooh ooh, this one:

Ooh, good thought!

How about obsessive24's Red Cliff movie vid? Or her Spartacus vid Your Battlefield?

[cosmic_llin]

I'll take a look at both, thanks!

In the vein of "something fairly random and unexpected", I made a vid about cows and milk that's mostly pre-WW2. http://echanvids.net/index.php/milk-on-the-march/

That sounds amazing, I'll take a look! :D

Hot in Herre is a really cool vid about 1931 Berlin, done from the 1974 Cabaret. http://sweetestdrain.livejournal.com/268519.html

Ooh, yay!

I made a vid for Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, a Chinese movie set in the middle of the Tang Dynasty: 雙女 ｜ Double Woman. I'd also highly recommend e_transition's vid to Iron-Jawed Angels, Suffrage.

Thanks, I'll take a look! :D

I made a couple of historical vids but not sure what you are looking for as it is western history. Elizabeth https://vimeo.com/22598281 & Amadeus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHOhtc7-OwQ

[cosmic_llin]

Oh, I'm definitely looking for SOME Western history! I'll check them out, thanks! :D

The name of the show escapes me, but Becka has at least one (and I think more) great vid based around her favourite Korean historical drama featuring a legendary Queen...

[cosmic_llin]

Ah, yes, I know the one you mean! :D

Not sure how much western history you want, but I made a vid for Red Tails, a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen (African-American military pilots during WWII). It's also on our site.

Have emailed the pteropus address. :)
