Can a film bring the world together? Probably not, if we're talking about "What Happens in Vegas."

But a bunch of well-made films chosen for their educational and/or inspirational value, shown all over the world at the same time, actually might make a dent.

That's the goal of Pangea Day, an event that on Saturday will offer 24 short films over the course of four hours via television, computer and cell phone. And at least one of the short films - India's "Dancing Queen," pictured above - actually was shot on a cell phone.

Conceived as a way to promote cultural understanding through the medium of film, the event, starting at 11 a.m. Saturday, will include live gatherings in several cities and talks by CNN's Christine Amanpour and Queen Noor of Jordan.

The event will be streamed live on the Pangea Day Web site and broadcast on Current TV.
