Reset documents the creation Benjamin Millepied's first ballet as Artistic Director of the Paris Opera Ballet, the oldest national ballet company in the world, and one of the most prestigious.

As a seemingly endless wave of fervent nationalism spreads in town, Farris, a Syrian refugee, saves Daphne, an idealist college student. Then, Yorgos, an unhappily married, pill-popping sales manager, has an unexpected affair with Elise, a frigidly beautiful Scandinavian corporate executive.

The film shows Leonard Cohen on a spring 1972 tour of Europe and Israel, accompanied by two guitarists; a bass and fiddle player; Bob Johnston, a record producer, and backup singers Donna Washburn and Jennifer Warnes. It begins toward the end of the tour in Tel Aviv, and shows Cohen scolding aggressive security guards during a fan riot. Considerable technical problems plagued Cohen throughout the tour, including constant audio difficulties that resulted in a tense confrontation with fans in Copenhagen who wanted a refund because the show ended early. The film also has backstage scenes of Cohen giving interviews and interacting with fans, including a female fan who "baldly propositions" him. It ends with Cohen's final stop on the tour, at Jerusalem's Binyanei Hauma on April 21, 1972, in which Cohen has an emotional crisis and takes LSD backstage.

An experimental, silent black-and-white film composed of a series of intimate close-up portraits of faces-mostly women-captured in moments of stillness, emotion, and vulnerability. Rather than following a traditional narrative, the film immerses the viewer in a meditative exploration of human presence and inner life. Shot with non-professional actors and figures close to Garrel's artistic circle, the film focuses on subtle expressions, gazes, and emotional shifts. These faces seem suspended in time, evoking solitude, introspection, and a sense of existential isolation. The absence of dialogue and conventional plot emphasizes mood over story, turning the film into a poetic reflection on loneliness, beauty, and the fragility of human connection.

Since the early 1970s Rackstraw Downes, painter, has committed himself to painting from observation, on site, from start to finish. He has painted both urban and rural landscapes as well as interior spaces, in New York, Texas, and Maine. Although he simply paints exactly what he sees, the ordinary sites become transformed into extraordinary scenes. In 2014 Downes spent the summer painting the site located in the northern part of Manhattan and his studio in SoHo. This film captures the painter working on site, outdoors and indoors, in an observational style. This film is a unique but truthful portrait of the painter, captured through the filmmaker's point of view and inspired by the painter's art.
