Video On-Demand With A Message: Nomads Land
Since I have dual monitors running on my computer system I find myself watching more and more video. And, there is a lot of video to be seen on the Internet these days with sites like YouTube. Sometimes though I want to watch something that has more value than a viral video and yet not just another television show, music video or Hollywood movie.
That’s where NomadsLand Films fits in nicely. I can watch films about issues that matter like a documentary about the aftermath of the tsunami in Sri Lanka or a short film reminding me that there is always something to be grateful about. NomadsLand offers indie feature documentaries, travelogues, mini documentaries, satire, indie & world music, voyeur, subversives and short films.
Nomads Land works to bring films about issues that matter. The following quote is from their website and says it best.
NomadsLand is many things to many people – an entertaining information site, an informative entertainment site, a social community of creatives, a film incubator, a music marketer, a window to the world, a fundraising tool for artists, a new distribution platform, but above all, a forum for social ideas and ultimately a grass-roots campaign for change.
NomadsLand uses a built-in video player to watch the films rather than streaming through a media player on your computer. The quality of the video is acceptable and you can enlarge the video to maximize viewing area. There is nothing to download since the video streams as you watch.
If you are a film maker you can submit your film to be shown on the site if it fits into their guidelines. NomadsLand will host it for free, non-exclusively encouraging amateur as well as professional film makers. If you charge a pay-to-download fee then Nomads Land splits the royalties with you.
To date I have watched three of the titles offered and I have been very impressed. The quality of the film making is excellent. Right now I am watching Justice For All? Human Rights at 50 about how many people are still suffering human rights abuse in the world. I watched From Dust which deals with how the government in Sri Lanka dealt with the aftermath of the tsunami in December 2004.
If you are interested in watching films that deal with social issues then I suggest checking out NomadsLand. I hope to see more films of the caliber already on their site.
