"A video performance"

A performance artist, Morgan Prescott, sits atop a wooden chair at the end of Toronto's Tommy Thompson Park every month, for 40 minutes, for an entire year. In the soundtrack, you hear the park and Morgan's side of a phone call from that month. It is a long-exposure document of one person shifting through the seasons of their life. What happens when we deny ourselves the familiar comforts of narrative and editing - can our inner selves withstand their true reflections?

Woodstock

An intimate look at the Woodstock Music & Art Festival held in Bethel, NY in 1969, from preparation through cleanup, with historic access to insiders, blistering concert footage, and portraits of the concertgoers; negative and positive aspects are shown, from drug use by performers to naked fans sliding in the mud, from the collapse of the fences by the unexpected hordes to the surreal arrival of National Guard helicopters with food and medical assistance for the impromptu city of 500,000.
