Re: [Frameworks] digital-era distro

A more general way of framing the issue is that moving pictures have moved toward ephemera, or, in a more historical vocabulary a spreading dominance of ’television'. How else could we explain the low adoption of Blu-Ray among both individuals and institutions? HD-DVD is long dead, Blu-Ray

I’m with Fred. Maybe a simple solution is for the poster to include the clue Kickstarter in the subject line. Then readers can easily ignore it. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com
