The National Film Board of Canada has made available for free over 800 drama, documentary, animation films. It's a treasure trove of video content and to top it off the videos are also available via an iPhone app (one of Apple's top 10 aps for '09).
I watched this video yesterday and although the soundtrack is a bit grating the video is kind of mesmerizing...
This Is a Recorded Message
Jean-Thomas Bédard, 1973, 10 min 10 s

Seductive advertising is seen as the main motivating force in shaping the desires, the needs and, to a large degree, the lives of modern men and women.
