Streetfilms News: Streetfilms is sporting a new ‘do!

It's been a long time coming, but Streetfilms finally has a new look that we hope will help visitors find more of their favorite films (check out fun rotating categories like, "Ciclovia Explosion!") and ultimately watch more movies and spread the love amongst your fellow advocates.

The first change you'll probably notice: our home page now features a plethora of category buttons to allow you to see a slate of 15 videos per page.  Our "player window" swaps out with each click, so you never have to leave this page (to still see a film's full deets and viewer comments you can click on the video's title or "READ THE FULL POST".)

One new exciting wrinkle is that we will be able to feature more of other people's great work that you have been sending us. We will curate these videos as often as possible, so if you have done a video you want us to consider or have a YouTube fav,  please by all means send us a link.

Oh, and another thing, this is just our first wave of changes, we'll be following up with another wave in a few weeks with more features and tweaks and we need your feedback before then.  So just comment on this article or e-mail us directly.  All accolades and criticism will be plenty appreciated.

Finally, there are plenty of sharing options: don't forget we are now posting most of our films on our StreetfilmsVlog Youtube account and also podcasting on Apple iTunes.  And for you social media addicts, join our Twitter and Facebook pages, where we will let you know first about new films the moment they post.
