- Artist Bill Viola juxtaposes personal pictures of his mother's death with images of his own son's birth to explore foundational and potent themes of beginnings and endings, the cycle of life and the movement of generations.
- Presents Bill Viola's four most acclaimed works, structured around a solitary movement, moment or phenomenon through which he explores the nature of video, the categories of perception, the cognitive and spiritual inner life of the witness.
- A short film by Eugene Deslav in which various industrial machines are filmed in action creating a marching feel.
- A man emerges from the forest and stands before a pool of water. He leaps up and time suddenly stops. All movement and change in the otherwise still scene is limited to the reflections and undulations on the surface of the pond. Time becomes extended and punctuated by a series of events seen only as reflections in the water. The work describes the emergence of the individual into the natural world, a baptism into a world of virtual images and indirect perceptions.
- Experimental film, after the last poem by Gerrit Achterberg.
- Presents highlights of a workshop for young directors conducted by the Polish director Krzysztof Kiewslowski (1941-1996) in Amsterdam during the summer of 1994. The theme of the workshop was the direction of actors.
- With a title referring to Japanese folklore, wherein things done on the first day of a new year are significant, the film - an ardent dream entirely shot in Japan - stands as a spiritual allegory equating light and dark with life and death.
- Chott El-Djerid is a large dried-up salt-water lake in the Tunisian Sahara, where according to the artist Bill Viola, "what you can see is the limit of what you could see".
- This work deals with time as revealed in sound and image, and with natural and subjective time. It follows the structural orchestration of Johann Sebastian Bach's ideas on counterpoint.
