Hulu blocks access to people outside the United States. How can anything associated with Hulu even be mentioned in relation to Open Culture?????

Dan Colman · 5 months ago

Stephen, I year you. Including Hulu was debatable, and I mentioned the geoblocking issue in the description. But it was recommended by some readers, and I went ahead and included it. Ultimately, I completely agree that Hulu is not doing the right thing here and should change its policies.

CultureCatch.com has over 160 half-hour interviews with today's seminal artists in film, theater, music and literature. Dusty Wright, the host, does an excellent job discussing the artist's works and other passions. We've really tried to provide in depth cultural conversations. We're the opposite of the press junket interviews you'll find on the networks. I'm confident you'll enjoy our vidcasts!

I highly recommend http://explore.org - a non-profit that showcases the good works of non-profits internationally. Lots of great educational topics from Tiananmen Square to Jerusalem to Orcas. The site itself hosts tons of film and photographs.

Shawn Collins · 5 months ago

A very helpful list. I'm a big fan of online documentary and educational video and I've been waiting for a comprehensive list like this.

I'd also like to recommend our online video project. We produce documentary films and interviews that are exploring our modern day struggles within the ecological, economical, and social systems and how these battles aren't isolated but part of a interdependent whole.

We have over 200 short films and interviews that are free to watch and we even have two DVDs that we ship out to anywhere in the world for free as long as you share and "pay it forward".

The project is the Global Oneness Project and the URL is http://www.globalonenessproject.org

Cheers and thanks for this great resource.

Great list! Two additions:

From Berlin with love: 0xdb collects information from numerous sources including allmovies, wikipedia and the internet movie database, amongst others, and offers users the chance to search and organise it in interesting ways. Where geographical data as to shot locations is available, for example, this can be plotted on google maps.

At this moment: 6,921 Movies

2. Pad.ma: http://pad.ma/

PAD.MA - short for Public Access Digital Media Archive - is an online archive of densely text-annotated video material, primarily footage and not finished films. The entire collection is searchable and viewable online, and is free to download for non- commercial use.

Hey this a very great list! Thanks!

I would add at least two:

1. reason.tv

It has hundrets of talks and discussion with some of the smartes ppl on earth.

2. getdocued.net

It is a mashup of all the good sites listed above. It tries to collect and review just the best of the best documentaries, lectures and talks from all ressources available.

p.s. shouldn't it be archive.org rather then arkive.org?

Julian F. Müller · 3 months ago

Maybe you should add:

reason.tv

great site with talks about the various fields of society

getdocued.net

a mashup of all the great documentary and lecture sites. Just the best of the best.

p.s. shouldnt it be archive.org instead of arkive.org?
