- This clear-eyed study of funeral services and crematoria reflects on how mass production methods and the impersonality of technological society have invaded even this last ritual. An accelerated sequence condenses the endless repetitions of identical funeral services, the arrivals and departures of mourners, into a few moments of sad comment. Though crematoria in the East are fast, popular, and clean, the director points to the even more efficient ones of Theresienstadt and Hiroshima.
- A dog and her owner navigate the perils of modern technology.
- "The Epic Tale of Kalesius and Clotho" is a deadpan farce about the many forms of obsession and a hilarious chronicle of the first filmmaker to make a movie based on Koufos' ancient Greek myth Kalesius and Clotho. Director Kyle Gilman is obsessed with Jennie, his former leading lady. Unfortunately, she has moved away to New York and wants nothing to do with him. When he finds Janine, an actress who bears a striking resemblance to Jennie, he is sure that she will be the perfect replacement. Kyle's struggles to overcome his own incompetence, the incompetence of his cast and crew, and his obsession with Jennie, lead to increasingly awkward and comic situations.

- Fukushima is the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. It will take decades and billions of dollars to keep the multiple meltdowns under control. Spewed radiation has reached as far as the American West Coast. Some 100,000 people were displaced from the no-go zone. But, eight years after 3.11, the story hardly makes headlines. Journalist Yuri Kageyama turns to poetry, dance, theater, music and film, to remind us that the human stories must not be forgotten. The film documents a performance directed by Carla Blank, who brings together a multicultural cast of artists to create provocative theater with dance and music.

- Filmed over seven years, the chapters of Meditations on Revolution explore the basic theme of revolution in its purest definition: the radical transformation of a subject from one state to another, and the various forms that transformation can take. The final film in the series is the most unique in form and content. Dedicated to (and heavily influenced in tone by the death of) the filmmaker's father, this moody urban piece surveys an expressionistic New York City at dusk and night. At the film's center is aged artist-musician Marion Brown whose proud, fatigued monologue fuses with haunting imagery of an alienating landscape.
