Part of a Series of films?


According to the Netflix description, this is "One of the '2000 Seen By...' series of films about the millennium."

Can anyone advise what else is in the series? I can't locate any info.
Thanks!

Here's the list from the Amazon link above:
The Book Of Life, 1998, 63 min. - Hal Hartley, U.S.; My First Night, 1998, 84 min. - Miguel Albaladejo, SPAIN; The Hole, 1998, 95 min. - Tsai Ming-Liang, TAIWAN; Life On Earth, 1998, 61 min. - Abderrahmane Sissako, MALI; Midnight, 1998, 72 min. - Daniela Thomas and Walter Salles, BRAZIL; The Sanguinaires, 1998, 68 min. - Laurent Cantet, FRANCE; Tama And Juli, 1997, 60 min. - Ildiko Enyedi, HUNGARY; and The Wall, 1998, 67 min. - Alain Berliner, BELGIUM.

As I recall these were co-sponsored by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and a museum or Film society in France (don't recall which). Some of these DVD releases have been extended to feature length releases from their original format. I remember that the Hole was only a little more than an hour like this one was.

And now that I've recalled that bit about the Walker's involvement, I found a link from the Walker's archives:

Don McKellar's Last Night was also part of this series although in a shorter cut.
