The Opposite of Dying

Tang lives alone in a cave in the mountains. He spends his days trekking and meeting friends in the local town. While this self-styled hermit has lived for years with almost no money, now he dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur. Coming down from the mountain, he meets local businessmen and old friends, pitching them a series of outlandish money-making schemes – from a campsite on the rooftop of a local hotel, to a 300-day-long hermit experience for tourists. With a deep urge to live a meaningful life, Tang is confronted by the prejudices of townsfolk who see him as nothing more than a local oddity.

Alone in the Wilderness

Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin in the wilderness at the base of the Aleutian Peninsula, in what is now Lake Clark National Park. Using color footage he shot himself, Proenneke traces how he came to this remote area, selected a homestead site and built his log cabin completely by himself. The documentary covers his first year in-country, showing his day-to-day activities and the passing of the seasons as he sought to scratch out a living alone in the wilderness.
