The restored Sonbert films that I have seen end with an onscreen credit to something like "The Estate Project for Artists With Aids." I'm all in favor of crediting everyone who helped, but these screen credits, which as I recall appear immediately after the final image, are a deeply disrespectful defacement to the work of a filmmaker who resolutely avoided using any credits at all, including his own name. They bother me too on another level: do we have to have all his films identified not by his name or their titles, but by the disease that killed him?
If such titles have to appear on screen, there should be a respectful interval of black leader, like ten seconds, before they appear, with instructions to the projectionist as necessary to insure that they run.
