(no subject)
I cannot take experimental film any more.
I am sick of being in class, trying to stay awake, and having absolutely no idea what the fuck I am watching.
I am sick of the banal and film as part of art movements and the avant garde.
I am sick of seeing filmmakers and their loved ones naked and engaged in sexual actions (or childbirth).
I am sick of talking about the patriarchy and women's film and women's language and what is a feminist film and the feminine point of view.
I am sick of talking about "the body", male or female, objectified or glorified.
I am sick of the coincidence that we all celebrate female filmmakers being naked all over their films, and oh hey, they just all happen to be thin and attractive!
I really tried to get it, to like it, to understand it. I still respect the good experimental film as good experimental film. I just can't take any more of it, and it's only October.
