In the documentary film The Importance of Being Icelandic, the filmmaker Jon Gustafsson (born in Iceland and living in Canada) traces the steps of three Icelandic Canadians on a different quest of discovering their Icelandic heritage by going to Iceland. In addition to their time in Iceland, he returns with them to Canada and captures their reactions of the Islendingadagurinn celebrated each year at Gimli. The contrasts in perspective between his viewpoint on Canadian culture and that of three Icelandic-Canadians on a quest for their ancestral heritage is at the centre of the documentary.

The plot is loosely connected to the documental stories published in Jim Corbett's 1944 bestselling book Man-Eaters of Kumaon. Narrator of the film is Jim Corbett. In the film, Corbett, who is portrayed by Christopher Heyerdahl, is asked to kill a man-eating tiger who killed a young woman in Kumaon. Corbett arrives to Kumaon and meets with local people. The sister (Mishra Smriti) of the victim takes Corbett to the killing site. They together ambush the man-eater and Corbett kills the tiger from the machan. During this plot, the narration (by Corbett) contains stories of the history of India and the Kumaon region, as well as the efforts to save Indian tigers.

Il s'agit de plusieurs films érotiques muets du début du XXe siècle. Ils étaient programmés en séances dans les salons d'attente des bordels huppés. Les films sont compilés et produits par Michel Reilhac et Mélange Production. Le film est diffusé lors de la Quinzaine des réalisateurs au Festival de Cannes le 19 mai 2002.
