Can screenshota sneaker inspire art? The folks over at Converse think so. They've invited talented filmmakers and animators as well as amateurs and wannabes alike to create short films in homage to the venerable Chuck Taylor, Jack Purcell, and their cousins. Sure it's blatant commercialism, though Converse insists it doesn't want advertisements -- it wants Art. Regardless, these mini-movies are cool. Each one is a gem of filmmaking that's part sneaker ad and part indie flick, and features a great soundtrack. Start with the most-watched film or view the newest submissions. We browsed through the gallery and ended up watching each and every clip. Clowns played badminton, old dudes danced the polka, and a guy in a gorilla suit chased a guy in a banana suit. It sure beats anything you'll find at the Cineplex. (in Fashion > Footwear)
