The idea about screening experimental films that are out of the public limelight has been an issue going on for forever (obviously) so it says in the article.. but i think that the opportunity to see these films in a unique space outside of your average cinema can be a lot of fun, for instance jengo's here in wilmington, holding cucalorus.. cucalorus is awesome.. its got this atmosphere of energy where you can just feel everyone's enthusiasm for underground cinema around you.. it makes the experience so much more different than just your average going to sit down in the theater and then leaving, like when you see mainstream films.
I think whats cool is that Carolyn and I were talking in the hall one day before class about the article, specifically where they explain the kind of "portable drive in theater" like thing where people find out the information of where the films will be projected and you tune into the station to hear it.. i think that sounds like a lot of fun.. and so creative.. carolyn and i were saying we want to do this around wilmington some time.
