Mashed up from more than 4,500 hours of footage sent in by YouTube users, Kevin Macdonald's film creates a stylised collage of human life on earth, as lived and filmed on 24 July 2010.

Birth, love, food, ablutions, sports, weddings (it was a Saturday), and a little death are all skilfully woven together and set to music, beats and sounds by Matthew Herbert. The result is entirely enjoyable, as upbeat and happy as a pop video.
