Hi,
I am not anti intellectual. The use of jargon, in my opinion has
nothing to do with one's being an intellectual.
In fact, I think it is an example of laziness.
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.
And I think name calling or labeling people for expressing their
thoughts is uncalled for.
