True. But people who walk by a painting not liking it aren't exactly fans. One of the benefits of a proper theatrical screening space is that viewers can leave without creating the sort of interruptions that afflict the comings and goings of typical 'installations.' I've been to two public screenings of Warhol films, both of which started with audiences of 40-50, and when I lights came up I saw that less than 10 other folks besides myself had stuck it out. But I hadn't noticed the deflections. Some of this just involves really simple things like creating a transition space between the 'theater' and the 'lobby' that creates some kind of light block, and making sure the hardware on the door closers isn't super loud. _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
