Minimovies is a site dedicated to showcasing a selection of bizarre episodic documentaries produced by the good folks at Submarine Channel, which handily can be viewed on a variety of platforms. The documentaries produced to date have been superb – here’s a few highlights to give you an idea…

Grillz or ‘Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is’, an extraordinary glimpse into the popularity of mouth jewellery amongst Hip Hop communities; Ig Nobel Prizes, charming interviews with scientists whose findings, such as homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck, have won them the award for ‘research that makes people laugh and then think’; and I Love Alaska, a touching story made from the search queries of one AOL user that were accidentally leaked onto the internet, created by artists Sander Plug and Lernert Engelberts.

We Love Our Work is the website of Dutch artists Lernert Engelberts & Sander Plug. Check out their first film Chocolate Bunny, a particularly beautiful and disturbing stylised short, and their documentary I Love Alaska which uses the search queries entered into AOL by one woman as the basis for a revealing and touching portrayal of one Canadian woman’s life and loves.
