I'm still working my way through Festivids, but these are the two greatest standouts so far:
Jaded (Velvet Goldmine, Brian/[Mandy|Curt|Arthur])
I do not have enough good things to say about this vid. It's about Brian without being about Brian, if you take my meaning -- it's about the condition of loving Brian, Brian as the obscure object of everyone's desire, and it's slinky and glitter-dirty and heartbreaking and excellent. Also extra special bonus points for remembering that Arthur and, oh my god, Mandy are ever so slightly involved in the whole business.
Let It Be (Mad Men, Don&Peggy)
And I'm still working up anything at all to say about this one. It's about Don going to pieces and Peggy growing up and this indefinable place where they meet in the middle, and "let it be" meaning something slightly different every time, and oh my god, the part in the middle intercutting Adam Whitman and That Thing from the end of S1, I gasped. Go watch.
