Attended Program 11 last night. I'm admittedly an amateur experimental/avant-garde film watcher but was happy I got a chance to check this out. I put up a post on my class blog. Please check it out feel free to let me know what you think: http://blogs.journalism.cuny.edu/interactive2010/2009/10/05/a-night-at-t...
Glad you enjoyed the experience. Which ones did you like or disllike, From that programme I have only seen films (not those, though) by Fleisch and McClure.
It's interesting what you say about 'models' for experimental film, and it terrifies me to think about it. Art 'production' has become very accessible, to the point that you can see different 'schools' of experimental filmmaking, where before you had only individualities. I think it's positive for a work of art to be transgressive in some way,. but that doesn't make it good...
