As someone new to the list in the last year, I agree completely. The
information updates are great while the discussion threads seem to be
the same people sniping with the same bullets, every time. Perhaps
there should be two listservs:
Frameworks: Listings, News and Information
and
Frameworks: Strange Arguments That End in A Very Vicious e.e.
cummings Lashing Out at Imaginary Patriarchy
Also:
My understanding from the description of this listserv is that video
is not really on topic here (outside of that one uptight thread about
the words "filmmaker" and "films"). I would like to find a list that
is as open to discussions of experimental film as experimental video.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
