This is the story of Terenti, a reindeer hunter and chief of the brigade, and his family. His wife Maïa, daughter Anna, brother Vassia, and grandfather live in their balok. Anna’s cousin Konstantin is staying with them in the tundra. Early one morning, Anna awakens. The Trace of Moloktchon follows a family of Dolgans from sunrise to sunset. We meet the Tundra of Siberia, the last nomadic inhabitants of the Taïmyr. On May 9, 2000, the filmmaker set a camera inside a balok and another outside on a swivel to follow the sun. This allowed him to film on two screens, an intimate record of Maïa’s daily life and the means developed by this thousand-year-old culture for meeting its needs. At the same time, he captured a panorama of her environment, the Tundra of Terenti. We discover the way of life of these animistic nomads. They went about their usual activities without apparent regard for the camera. The resulting document is moving and informative.

Life on the streets of New York City for the poor and homeless is an unforgiving struggle. For those who also battle mental illness, it is marked by the additional pressures of fear, isolation and misunderstanding. "West 47th Street," a remarkable new film, takes its cameras into the heart of the struggle as it rejects the invisibility of the mentally ill who inhabit America's urban streets. Filmed over three years at Fountain House, a renowned 50-year-old rehabilitation center in New York, West 47th Street reveals the human face of mental illness — and the faith and courage with which its victims fight to recover control of their lives.

In Frances Stark's Cat Videos 1999 - 2002, the artist's cats are featured playing and lounging in her apartment. The videos are a result of Stark being inspired by the visual pleasure of watching her cats and the way their movement changed her perception of her domestic surroundings. By utilizing the soundtrack of one diegetic song per video, the life of the domestic cat - which usually involves no plans or action - is framed, and then elevated as a work of art. The videos, produced pre-Youtube in 1999-2002, predict our current extensive consumption and emotional responses to online cat videos, and unintentionally explore the rise of rapid attention span as a response to current technologies.
