You could head down and catch this gem at the Tribeca Film Festival. But through May 17th, the fest's marvelous shorts will be screening five at a time in the Youtube Screening Room.

American Express is the corporate sponsor on this, and the credit card giant is also backing a promotion that lets people submit their films online for a chance to screen at next year's festival.

This is part of a bigger push by Youtube to become a destination for professional quality films. Yesterday The Wrap broke the news that Youtube would be partnering with Sony Pictures, Warner Brothers and Universal for a streaming, on demand service. While that service is still a ways off, users can get their indy kicks for free right away.
