This is a short film which is part amusing and makes a few valid points. It is available at
http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=111306 You can also see a review at
http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/803316/ have a look at the full synopsis "..On a hot summer's day, a woman and her young daughter Natalie drive with her new boyfriend towards the seaside. But Natalie does not like her mother's new 'friend' and contrives to make his day a nightmare. First he crashes the car after he is stung by a wasp she has trapped, then he is forced to search the surrounding fields of yellow rape for Natalie, who has run off with the car keys. When he finally finds her drowsing in the field, she has taken all her clothes off. This is not the kind of confrontation he would like her mother to find out about....
This is a haunting, atmospheric and rather creepy little tale about the manipulativeness of a child and the mistrust and vulnerability everyone feels when getting to know someone new."
Whilst I am on the subject of short films you might like to take a look at

Sadly not allseem to be available - for example when I try to download this, I get a 1KB .RAM files - maybe other people get different results ? When I tried downlaod some of these I get one of 3 things :-
1. Downlaod .RAM file fine (plays well in Media Player Classic).
2. Get aforementioned 1KB RAM file.
3. Get a "not available" URL.
Maybe this is something to do with my setup, so can someone else try and maybe post any good ones. There are some very good but need to go through the reviews. I cannot get :-
Avondale dogs
Home
Home away from home
Maisie's Catch
Mercy
Park Stories
The Kitchen Child
Yellow
There are probably more but all I have time for now...

Can I suggest something? If you want to download streaming video use a program such as Cocsoft Streamdown (just google it!) this will enable you to save the film to hard drive

I don't understand - are you saying that you are able to view these ? I try to open or download them and have the same problem. Also, I have managed to downlaod some of them so there is no problem with the process - works for some, not others.

I have no problems at all. I've got the films I wanted by using Streamdown
http://stream-down.cocsoft.com/ its a bit like a download accelerator you enter the url and it downloads the film really easy to use.

free to watch... free is what you share or take isn't that the whole ethos behind P2P?
