I completely agree with this. But one thing bothers me.
Where is all the old stuff?
People have been making great short movies and video for many years.
They have been showing them to friends, at local clubs, and submitting
them to festivals and competitions. Now we are at a stage where
distribution is as easy as uploading a file to the archive (or any
other web site), but the overwhelming attention is on the _new_.
Have we really let all that great creativity just go to waste? Tapes
worn out and/or thown in the trash before they could be copied? I fear
that many of the most active amateur videomakers from the 1980s and
1990s may now be too old to bother.
How can we act to save all this great stuff, before it's too late?
