Fable: I Want the World, Clean (1999)
"Todd's poetic documentary excavates the history of a family home that has been passed down five generations. It uncovers a sort of violence done in the course of carving up the land and trying to purify one's family histories." - Chris Gehman, Images Festival of Independent Film & Video, 2001

Imperceptihole (2011)
A correspondence film: rolls of high contrast black and white film were sent back and forth in the mail over the course of a year until the film began to reveal itself as a science non-fiction fairy tale, a speculative quest – circling and searching, falling and landing, entering and exiting – to recapture elisions in light caught within and between seasons, states, planes and worlds.

Clip (1997)
A sequence of 10 images presented in 10 groups of 400 alternating frames. The primary image of a bird is gradually disfigured by the successive introduction of competing imagery, yet the overall field seems to have its own life.

Evergreen (2005)
‘This film looks at the nature of viewing nature and the problems we have created for ourselves in defining useful space: the contemporary act of viewing "landscape" requires an effort of wilful ignorance of our own position as present and influential, and what it takes to get to the point of being in a position to view it.’ (Robert Todd)

Our Former Glory (2002)
A fantasy taking its cue from reliquary objects left to rot along the Brooklyn Promenade, overlooking the site of the former World Trade Center Towers. The film proposes visual similes between impersonal architecture and the language of mass production that define America's most pervasive global export: a living aesthetic culture of utility. Just as we can conceive of sentimental or spiritual offerings as disposable, so too are we led to identify our selves within that aesthetic.

The Hills (2016)
Distance is at issue in this final chapter of the “Human Nature” series, which speaks of our positioning of the landscape as a source for contemplation as being a form of consumption and thereby invoking claims of ownership. These hills, found within the coal ranges of Eastern Pennsylvania, are marked by our vision as both “nature” and “territory”, subject to varied forms of reverence and exploitation. The film continues OVER WATER’s theme of controlling elements of nature, here complicated (and obviated) by the use of the grid as a trope serving as a reference to not only the literal introduction of powerlines (the energy grid), but more generally to the utility of image in relation to function, the epistemological goals of mapping, and the aspects of control that are intertwined with ownership and consumption.
