- DirectorIrene LusztigIn 2020, a California wildfire reduced 900 homes to ashes. Lusztig, whose house was spared, interviews some of her neighbors on the charred remains of their houses. This leads to surprising, emotional, and probably also therapeutic conversations about what is of value. A former collector appears not to be missing any of her collector's items, but another woman can name every jar from her former spice rack. Lusztig investigates the difference between a house and a home, and the relationship between memories and objects. At the same time, she shows what is left after a devastating fire-such as a miraculously undamaged "I Love Dad" mug-and human resilience.
- DirectorMarc ShafferStarsGary OldmanMarta BraunPhilip BrookmanExposing Muybridge tells the story of trailblazing 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge, who changed the world with his camera. Muybridge set the course for the development of cinema when he became the first photographer to capture something moving faster than the human eye can see--Leland Stanford's galloping horses. He also produced a sprawling and spectacular landscape catalog, ranging from Alaska to Central America, Utah to California. Artful, resilient, selfish, naive, eccentric, deceitful--Muybridge is a complicated, imperfect man and his story drips with ambition and success, loss and betrayal, near death experiences and even murder. "The machine cannot lie," Stanford declared of Muybridge's pioneering motion images. But what about the photographer? More than a century after his death, Muybridge's photographs have never ceased to seduce cutting-edge artists, scientists, innovators, and general viewers alike.

- DirectorLuke Griswold-TergisStarsNikita ZimovSergey ZimovSeeking no one's help and asking nobody's permission, Russian geophysicist Sergey Zimov and his son Nikita are gathering any large wooly beast they can get their hands on, and transporting them, by whatever low budget means they can contrive, to the most remote corner of Siberia. They call their project Pleistocene Park. The goal: restore the Ice Age "mammoth steppe" ecosystem and avoid a catastrophic feedback loop leading to runaway global warming. Sergey would know: fifteen years ago he published in the journal Science showing that frozen arctic soils contain twice as much carbon as the earth's atmosphere. These soils are now starting to melt. While Zimov's brilliance and charisma have won him friends and supporters, his oversized ego, lack of diplomacy, and cranky iconoclasm make him a challenge to work with. Nikita, Sergey's son, is the last man standing to deal with his father's idiosyncrasies and carry forward his vision. Can two Russian scientists stave off a worst-case scenario of global environmental catastrophe and reshape humanity's relationship with the natural world?
