Add to a movie listWavelength is a 45-minute film that made the reputation of Canadian experimental filmmaker and artist Michael Snow. Considered a landmark of avant-garde cinema, it was filmed over one week in December 1966 and edited in 1967, and is an example of what film theorist P. Adams Sitney describes as "structural film", calling Snow "the dean of structural filmmakers." Wavelength is often listed as one of the greatest underground, art house and Canadian films ever made. It was named #85 in the 2001 Village Voice critics' list of the 100 Best Films of the 20th Century. The film has been designated and preserved as a masterwork by the Audio-Visual Preservation Trust of Canada. In a 1969 review of the film published in Artforum, Manny Farber describes Wavelength as "a pure, tough 45 minutes that may become The Birth of a Nation in Underground films, is a straightforward document of a room in which a dozen businesses have lived and gone bankrupt. For all of the film's sophistication (and it is overpowering for its time-space-sound inventions) it is a singularly unpadded, uncomplicated, deadly realistic way to film three walls, a ceiling and a floor... it is probably the most rigorously composed movie in existence.

Le film est une suite de mouvements de caméra en plan-séquences, ne montrant pas la présence de l'Homme, dans la région de la Côte-Nord au Canada, à peu près à 170 km au nord est de Sept-Îles (Québec). Le son est une bande son composée à partir de celle qui sert de programme à la caméra : elle est donc aussi « synthétique » que les images sont empreintes de nature.

Compiled from Mekas' home movies, the film is an attempt by the director to re-construct his life through various home movies filmed over a period of about 30 years. Events shown in the film are things such as birthdays and picnics, as well as more landmark personal events such as the first steps of his children. Throughout the film Mekas offers his own commentary and insight on what the viewer is seeing.

Chris Boyce et Daulton Lee ont 23 ans en 1974, dans une Amérique que le scandale du Watergate traumatise. Amis d'enfance, ils ont choisi des voies totalement opposées : Lee est devenu un petit dealer, tandis que Chris, après avoir renoncé à la prêtrise, se consacre au dressage de son faucon. Grâce à son père, il est embauché dans une importante compagnie d'électronique, la TRW. Rapidement promu, il occupe un poste de confiance, recevant les messages codés d'un satellite espion pour le compte de la CIA. C'est ainsi qu'il prend connaissance des agissements peu glorieux de son pays. Citoyen modèle, il ne comprend pas que la CIA se permette de manipuler impunément tous les gouvernements du monde, y compris ceux de ses alliés (soutien au putschiste Augusto Pinochet au Chili, déstabilisation du gouvernement travailliste en Australie, .

The film is a biography of anarchist Sakae Ōsugi, who was assassinated by the Japanese military in 1923. The story tells of his relationship with three women: Hori Yasuko, his wife; Noe Itō, his third lover, who was to die with him; and his jealous, second lover, Masaoka Itsuko, a militant feminist who attempts to kill him in a tea house in 1916. Parallel to the telling of Ōsugi’s life, two students (Eiko and Wada) do research on the political theories and ideas of free love that he upheld. Some of the characters from the past and from the present meet and engage the themes of the movie.

The film emulates the 1968 trip made by Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins to Patagonia, but rather than by land, Jeff Johnson travels by sea from Mexico and south along the west coast of Chile. The film opens with original home movie footage as taken by Chouinard and Tompkins, and then continues with Johnson's own footage, in which he includes surfing, sailing and climbing as the film follows Johnson signing on with a small boat heading for Chile, his being delayed for several weeks on Easter Island, his meeting travel partner Makohe, and in his reaching Patagonia, Johnson meeting with Chouinard and Tompkins. The film concludes with his attempt to climb Cerro Corcovado (the Corcovado volcano), an attempt that was halted 200 feet from the summit out of concerns for safety.

The Invisible War features interviews with veterans from multiple branches of the United States Armed Forces who recount the events surrounding their assaults. Their stories show many common themes, such as the lack of recourse to an impartial justice system, reprisals against survivors instead of against perpetrators, the absence of adequate emotional and physical care for survivors, the unhindered advancement of perpetrators' careers, and the forced expulsion of survivors from service.
