Thanks for posting this brilliant film. Just watched it and really enjoyed it. As mentioned above, the pure joy radiating from the musicians and dancers was just wonderful to see.

I did find Rufus' Newfoundland accent quite difficult to understand at times. Got this from Wikipedia:
Some specific Newfoundland dialects are similar to the accent heard in the southeast of Ireland (see Wexford and Waterford), while others are similar to those of West Country England, or a combination of both, mainly due to mass immigration from a limited number of ports in those specific regions.

I was thinking maybe there are other interesting short films within that site, but I can't seem to find them...
