Bizarre in what way? Aside from the lack of any Japanese names (and only
one Austrian) it's pretty much in line from what i remember of the
decade and about what you'd expect from the listed participants.
Certainly the WTF content is much lower than the run of lists of
mainstream/arthouse features ...

What is bizzare about it ?
Two of my all time fav films, God of Day and Song and Solitude are there;
strange Phil S. ties w/ Brakhage but only one part from In Memoriam is
listed with low votes ---  I think because folks have not really caught up
to what he's doing...
Haven't seen Pitcher of Colored Light butSotiros I'd put right up there -
I'm sure there ar very coo things on this list I haven't seen yet - When It
Was Blue

Oh, I missed Kubelka on my second pass. Even so.

Pretty sure Tomonari Nishikawa still counts as Japanese, doesn't he?  I know he was schooled in the U.S., but...
(Not defending this list.  Biting my tongue.)

Agree, disagree, ok but
I'm still wondering what makes it "bizarre"

Ok, maybe 'bizarre' wasn't quite right.  I'm just surprised by some of the list.  There definitely are some strong titles and names; and I too look forward to seeing those I haven't yet seen.  
And please don't get me wrong here - because I don't want to start a flame-out nor encourage a rants-and-raves style gripe session - but the list does strike me as curiously heavy on the elders and vets.  On the other hand, maybe the 2000s really were a renaissance for people who've been at it for a long time?

Or mid-vets, Jen Reeves, David Gatten, quite a few here.

Gotta not get to carried away with calanders. "God of Day" is Brakhage's
"best" film, if I believed in "best"
which I don't. "Song and Solitude" is a summation of songs that movers into
a variation on mise-en-scene,
new for Dorsky.
Only Phil in digital  is truly avant on this list.
(but the Videogame "Tension" / "The Void" would go on my list as would
"Avatar" not because it's deep but because it's Melies jumping off the
picture plane
