For the Historical folks: look at this trailer for a Danish TV Series set during the Second Schleswig Holstein War. Denmark's King died without an heir deemed acceptable to the German Confederation. When Denmark "integrated" the Duchy of Schleswig into the Kingdom in violation of the London Protocal, Denmark stood alone against Prussia and Austria. The series is entitled 1864.

Stalker7 Finds another SciFi Short: State Zero by Andree Wallin. It's set in the near future, the capital of Sweden has turned into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Four soldiers on a routine mission in ‘Zone 3’, assigned to investigate a surveillance tower that just went offline...watch and enjoy.

SciFantasy fans might like this one: The Guardian's Tale. The story takes place on a lonely alien planet shrouded in mystery where an beast guards a treasure. One day, a little girl,  seemingly innocent girl crash lands on his world.
