Hi,
I never wrote that a dvd copy of a film shouldn't be used for public
exhibition. I'd prefer showing a dvd than not showing the work at all.
But I do think there's a difference between the "sophisticated use of
language" and jargon.
And I think jargon does not bring people in nor make them feel welcome.
It is not, I think, a route to making something that is difficult
and challenging - avant garde film - accessible.
Popular? Not likely. Unless you get celebrities to appear in your
avant garde film. You heard it here first folks.
