Prescription#1 : Kinema-kan - Are you happy ?
Admittedly one of the best fan-made touhou video creators and is very well-known among Touhou fans. Due to reason(s) unknown, they stopped their activities, but their works will and shall stay alive forever.
Here is a post dedicated to provide all of their works so far.

Consisted by 3 parts : Opening, actual content, and ending(?).
How is the daily life in Gensokyo ? Overall, the video is very simple, the art is not extraordinarily beautiful, musics are okay, but one would feel warm just by simply watching it. Look at how laid-back Reimu's life with her friends, it's just how you should live your life. Life may be harsh, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have to overexert yourself, you have to make your life fun by your own.

[size=15][æ±æ–¹]Kinema-kan 2nd Curtain[/h]
Consisted by 4 parts : 2nd Curtain 1stOP - Fragments, 2ndOP - Touhou Hana Kagura, Rainy Days, and 2nd Curtain ending.
Probably the longest video and the best video-line that they've ever created.
The most interesting point to note is the first opening since it feats both Renko and Maribel, two of the not-so-popular-yet-interesting Touhou characters, with their speculated relation with both Gensokyo and Yakumo Yukari.
Here also marks the debut of Maika in Kinema-kan videos, she is the singer of 2nd Curtain ending -
I wish.

Not much to say here. This is a video dedicated to Chen fans in order to satisfy their CHEEEEEEN dose.

[size=15][æ±æ–¹]æ±æ–¹æ‹éš£ç«¥ ToHo Kourindo [/h]
The video gives us a different and possible perspective about Morichika Rinnosuke and his life in Kourindou in reverse-chronological order. Sweet video with several touching moments accompanied by its melancholic BGM,
Pages of A Star, sang by Maika.

[size=15][æ±æ–¹]Making of 2nd Curtain[/h]
Provides various sketches and the making of
Fragments +
Touhou Hana Kagura, which both belonged to 2nd Curtain. To be fair, it's awesome in its own way.

[size=15][æ±æ–¹]Teaser for ToHo Daydream[/h]
Provides a glimpse for Kinema-kan's next project, and unfortunately their last.

[size=15][æ±æ–¹æ´»å‹•å¯«çœŸé¤¨]æ±æ–¹ç™½æ˜¼å¤¢ - Daydream[/h]
Kinema-kan's last project. The main content is about Sanae's dilemma upon her decision to stay in Gensokyo. It's very touching and deep.
It also provides an extended version of ToHo Kourindo.
Words of wisdom from member(s).

As one who is rather well acquainted with touhou videos, I'm frankly surprised that there is very little word of its shut down being spread across the web. (from what I can see)
My personal favourite would have to be
2nd curtain. Their works are all awesome, but that's not all there is to it; the pace, the flow, the music, the animation - they all work together to tell a tale, in the way they wish to convey it, to you, the audience.
While those behind it may have split from the banner of
Kinema-kan, let's hope that this isn't their final curtain call~
