1. I Can't
A roll of film is not a successful conduit for grief. For Robert Todd.
2. Embodiment of Darkness
A dark formless body moves . Formlessness of an entity is because a constant change in form is perceived as formless
3. Duration-Landscape: Rocks (Paisaje-duración: rocas (C))
"The evaporation or the centralization of the self. Everything is there." —Charles Baudelaire A sensorial approach to landscape In the deep contemplation of landscape the senses are altered. We feel a sublimation experience where the mental image of landscape undergoes a metamorphosis. The actual space is distorted, time flows in a different way: it stops in our consciousness. It is the connection at the "full instant," the idea of "durèe" of Henri Bergson, where the intensity of the experience makes the image of landscape expands.

4. Amir Hetsroni: Case Study (אמיר חצרוני: תיאור מקרה)

6. Hell Frozen Over
Bernadette Corporation describes this work as "A fashion film about the poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé and the color white." Produced for the 2000 Walker Art Center exhibition Let's Entertain, this short film employs a range of strategies to approach the idea of nothingness, emptiness, and vacuity, with an eye to how these notions relate to contemporary mass-cultural entertainment. Juxtaposing "documentary" takes on a fashion shoot with footage of semiologist Sylvère Lotringer giving an impromptu lecture on Mallarmé on a frozen lake, Hell Frozen Over maintains an ambiguous stance from which to both critique and celebrate the power of surface.
7. Karl's Perfect Day
A day in the life of Swedish poet Karl Holmqvist.
It has an average vote of 6 on TMDB.
8. Mapocho
A visual journey through the Mapocho river.
9. Terminal City
Terminal City records the demolition of the Devonshire Hotel in Vancouver; through extreme show motion and symmetrical diagonal framing, Gallagher underscores the passage from order to chaos within the event. The sparseness of this centering and he patience required of the viewer heightens the literally explosive climaxes of the film, and transforms the everyday violence of the events into moments of convulsive beauty. – Jim Shedden, Michael Zryd, The Independent Eye
10. Still Life #02 (Still Life #02)
Still Life #02 is part of a broader investigation on our relationship with images and their immateriality. It emerges from the desire to touch the intangible: the digital image. It manages to embody the pixel and carve it with a chisel; to explore its physical nature through direct intervention.
11. Burial Pyramid
Mendieta, Ana: Burial Pyramide, Yagul, Mexico.
12. Moby Dick (Moby Dick)
Guy Ben-Ner, one of Israel's foremost video artists, gained international recognition with a series of low-tech films, starring his family in absurdist settings carved out of their intimate spaces and their everyday surroundings. Many of his videos are inspired by screenplays for films, folktales and novels. Analyzing these literary and cinematographic passages allows him to exploit the conventions of film narrative: how to tell a story, captivate an audience through a tale, sustain a degree of tension and entertainment, and so on. At the same time, he corrupts the magic of fiction by openly showing us the entrails of everything he records, without worrying about revealing the tricks of the trade. A large part of his filmic oeuvre features a conglomeration of cinematic and literary references which the artist quotes, adapts or interprets. Ben-Ner self-referentially links the great themes and their literary, cinematic and artistic realization.
13. Landscape (for Manon)

It has an average vote of 6.3 on TMDB.
14. Bouddi
A camera calligraphy of the coastal bush -- celebrating growth, summer light, rock and plant textures.
15. Now Eat My Script
"Now Eat My Script is a precipice, a fluid solution in which some spectral noises of the self float adrift. Narration takes the role of a pregnant writer who continuously affirms her hunger and clumsiness towards language and history. Her body is crossed over by both the years to come and the stories that have been buried. As a would-be pirate, she navigates through the tumult of familiar waters."
16. Elementa
A black-and-white visual meditation of wilderness and the elements. Wildlife filmmaker Richard Sidey returns to the triptych format for a cinematic experience like no other.
It has an average vote of 6.5 on TMDB.
17. Metalogue
1996 Peter Rose short work. A magician-like figure delivers a peculiar speech that is embedded in extravagant arrays of time-delayed images that reflect and refract ideas about memory, time and language.
18. Thee Backslacpkping With Media
A self described "documediamentary" about the reactions to the release of the then final Star Wars film, "Revenge of the Sith".
