Initially Brockman was awarded a grant for A Film In The Desert, but requested to shift the funding in 1983 to be used for a different film project, Soul of A Dog. Brockman’s video Soul of a Dog (1987), is a meditation on belonging, based on Franz Kafka’s short story “Investigations of a Dog.” It was made using hundreds of images Brockman shot on 35mm color slide film of her beloved dog Dutchess and includes live action and green screen techniques.

Director Rachel Feldman, NYC, received $6,000. to support the production of WUNDERKIND, a film about a man whose superpower is the ability to see through pretension and make people dance. 30 dancers from the modern dance world and the Broadway stage starred in the film, choreographed by Carl Tillmanns.
