Check out these short docs that are competing to win the doc category of the Vimeo Festival. Some will seem familiar to Docutwit readers. Others are brand new. Check them out, and tweet me @docutwit which ones interest you.

Caine’s Arcade. Check him out. 

Some people find their niche. This guy found it selling real sex dolls. Lars and the Real Girl wasn’t very far off apparently. 

Here is a great short doc about a bicycle gang in Oakland, CA. That sounds tough. Sounds like a group of dudes you wouldn’t want to run into. But, it is quite the contrary. Kids building bikes, riding in a line, staying out of trouble. Good shit.

Here is a cool short doc festival started by Morgan Spurlock and some other filmmakers. Check out the trailer. I will be bringing you films from the festival, so standby.

Check out this trailer for a “short doc” series called Here Comes the Neighborhood. There are multiple videos going more in depth with the artists at www.hctn.tv

Great series. Beautiful artwork. Really cool idea. 

Ray Ives is 75 years old and has been a diver for over 50 years. He has been searching for treasure his entire life. This short documentary highlights his philosophies and his drive to continue. His collection of “treasure” is stored in a portable storage unit next to the marina. Take a look at what this wonderful man has discovered.

The second saddest documentary I have ever seen. First being Dear Zachary of course. This short gets right to the core of you in a matter of seconds. I have tried to watch this short doc 5 times. Each time needing to stop because it is so sad. Last night, I finally finished it. Wow. There is a lot going on. Tests of “manhood”, will power, and strength. If you are an animal lover, you must watch. Well, maybe you shouldn’t.
