O Fortune, like the moon of ever changing state, you are always waxing or waning; hateful life now is brutal, now pampers our feelings with its game; poverty, power, it melts them like ice.

  Ironic Sans: Idea: The "O Fortuna" Short Film Festival
So I thought it would be fun to have an on-line O Fortuna Short Film Festival, and invite people to set that song to whatever visuals they wanted, and for whatever effect they wanted — comedy, drama, action, etc — with a few simple rules: 1) The film may be about absolutely anything.
For example, if you use 3 minutes of O Fortuna, your movie may be up to 3 minutes and 20 seconds long (not including credits).
I don’t recall if O Fortuna specifically was used - iMDb isn’t clear on the subject - but I think so.

  Fortuna (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Roman mythology, Fortuna (Greek equivalent Tyche) was the personification of luck, hopefully of good luck, but she could be represented veiled and blind, as modern depictions of Justice are seen, and came to represent the capriciousness of life.
Fortuna had a temple in the Forum Boarium, a public sanctuary on the Quirinalis, as the tutelary genius of Roma herself, Fortuna Populi Romani, the "Fortune of the Roman people", and an oracle in Praeneste where the future was chosen by a small boy choosing oak rods with possible futures written on them.
All over the Roman world, Fortuna was worshipped at a great number of shrines under various titles that were applied to her according to the various circumstances of life in which her influence was hoped to have a positive effect.

 Carmina Burana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lyrics of the poems cover a wide range of secular topics, as familiar in the 13th century as they are in the 21st century: the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the ephemeral nature of life, the joy of the return of Spring, and the pleasures of drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust.
Excerpts, especially the opening and finale number O Fortuna, have been widely used in numerous movie trailers and in various other commercials, such as The Big Ad for Carlton Draught beer in Australia, and Rickard's Red beer in Canada.
The Flaming Lips, Ozzy Osbourne, and Therion have used O Fortuna as their opening music for live shows; the latter also included the song as the last track on their 2000 album Deggial.

 Musical Musings-Massacre/Canoes
There is some evidence to suggest that that in writing "Massacre", Trevor Jones borrowed directly from the classical choral piece "O Fortuna (from the 'scenic cantata' Carmina Burana by Carl Orff) for the first subject.
Given these comparisons, it seems possible to expect that at the very least, "O Fortuna" inspired some of Jones' efforts in "Massacre".
The following sound clip plays first a snippet from "O Fortuna" followed by a snippet from "Massacre/Canoes", which is the same set of notes in abbreviated form (that is, the same notes but fewer of them).
