Jack,
Your remark, " If we are going to follow rules (absurd) then surely "subversive"
> would cover at least some political statements.
> But surely 'rules' 'from above' are antithetical to experimental film."
I think it wouldn't be possible to state this seemingly intractable (antithetical") oxymoron more clearly.
You've helped me understand the nature (a nature) of this email flurry.
Who would have guessed that an Obama buttons email on an experimental film discussion site,
would place us right in the middle of basic and useful issues of experimental film.
This is sure worth discussing (not, however, dis-ing or cussing each other, altho maybe I'm being prissy),
and I'm glad I signed up.
JP
Seemingly.
