After posting a notice about the talk on humor and environmental filmmaking at the Center for Environmental Filmmaking at American University, I got a number of requests for links to humorous videos. I talked with Chris Palmer, the quite distinguished filmmaker who runs the center, and he's happy to answer any questions [email protected] and forward a list of links. You can see upcoming events here - http://www.environmentalfilm.org/environmental/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/fallflyer.pdf.
