It is worth mentioning that this is just the latest example of something that has been going on since the late 90s, the dismantling of film maker's organizations and institutions in the wake of the digital video era. This trend has affected all kind of film making organizations, not just the experimental community.Seems to me that since many people (wrongly) figured that a digital camera and a PC could replace the infrastructure of film they decided to get their own stuff and abandon their peers. Very sad.
