- DirectorHollis FramptonStarsRosemarie CastoroGinger MichelsMarcia SteinbrecherA rhythmically edited alphabet composed of street and shop signs shot in New York City and other elements is gradually replaced by repeated seemingly abstract shots in this influential structuralist film.
- DirectorMaurice LemaîtreAn experimental video comprised of diverse shots and interviews, featuring a French voiceover. It transcends mere projection, presenting a genuine film with historical content.
- DirectorIsidore IsouStarsIsidore IsouJean-Louis BarraultBlanchette BrunoyIn this experimental film, Isidore Isou, the leader of the lettrist movement, lashes out at conventional cinema and offers a revolutionary form of movie-making: through scratching and bleaching the film, through desynchronizing the soundtrack and the visual track, through deconstructing the story, he aims to renew the seventh art the same way he tried to revolutionize the literary world.
- DirectorGuy DebordStarsGuy DebordSerge BernaIsidore IsouThe director renders tribute to the Marquis of Sade without images. The screen is white when the testimonies speak, and black when they don't, in this experimental film.

- DirectorMalcolm le GriceA motion study short mixes home movie footage shot by the director's father of the mother walking a family dog which leaps and runs, and the splintering of the frames themselves which repeat, split, get stuck, cut off.
- DirectorBirgit HeinWilhelm HeinA black and white experimental short film directed by Birgit Hein and Wilhelm Hein.
- DirectorMichael SnowStarsHollis FramptonLyne GrossmanNaoto NakazawaClaimed by some to be one of the most unconventional and experimental films ever made, Wavelength is a structural film of a 45-minute long zoom in on a window over a period of a week. Very unconventional and experimental, indeed.
- DirectorDziga VertovStarsMikhail KaufmanElizaveta SvilovaA man travels around a city with a camera slung over his shoulder, documenting urban life with dazzling invention.
- DirectorMarcel DuchampA spiral design spins dizzily. It's replaced by a spinning disk. These two continue in perfect alternation until the end: a spiral design, a disk. Each disk is labelled and can be read as it rotates. The messages, in French, feature puns and whimsical rhymes and alliteration. The final message comments on the spiral motif itself.
- DirectorHans RichterBlack and white rectangular images fade in and out of the screen. Their movement make them sometimes look like they're panning from side to side. Their movement also make the black and white individually change from foreground to background and visa versa.
- DirectorPeter KubelkaAn experimental short from Peter Kubelka in which the film flickers between periods of light and sound.
- DirectorTony ConradThis film consists of alternating black and white frames.
- DirectorGeorge MaciunasArtype patterns, intended for loops. Benday dot patterns. Dots, lines. Screens, wavy lines, parallel lines, etc., on clear film. No camera.
- DirectorTakahiko IimuraBoth in terms of its examination of time and space, of light and darkness, of visuals and sounds; and in terms of its demands and potential rewards for an audience, '24 Frames Per Second' is a quintessential film from this filmmaker. The film alternates between one-second passages during which the viewer sees one of a series of fractions and with one-second segments of black and clear leaders. As the film progresses, the fractions grow from 1/24 to 24/24. 1/24, for example, is followed by one second of film in which one frame is clear and 23 are black, and then one is black, 23 clear.
