15 or so would be a huge landslide of an improvement. in 1975 i'd say that
i hadn't given a whole lot of thought to experimental cinema, and the
problem with invisibility is that as time goes by, those not written about
become even more so.
i'd refer you to the swell website of the guerilla girls, below a link to a
poster they did in long ago 1989
http://www.guerrillagirls.com/posters/advantages.shtml
or one about the 1995 whitney biennial

changes had/have to be fought for.
