Neither the mainstream, nor opposition to it, are
classes unto themselves. Who's to say which would be
above the other?
Ditto w/ "avant-garde film" or documentary video.
They each are class SYSTEMS, similar to those in ALL
cultures or communities, usually based on money or
what it can buy.
The "avant-garde film" class system is based largely
on "learning", and size (eg- how big your dick, sorry,
FILM FORMAT is), and how much of them u can afford.
