You've started something great. The films were amazing on the big screen. Without distraction, with total immersive focus, they were fantastic to sit and watch. And contrary to what I'd expected, I didn't see a single film that suffered from transfer to the big screen. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Curated screenings really worked: Intelligent and eclectic selection according to a curator's chosen theme - not just 'best of' or 'most popular' highlights from a single genre or subgenre. I'd like to see more of this online. A curator could choose a theme and then revlog an eclectic selection of great videos connected to that theme. The 'gallery' could even be structured like a blog - that way you'd be able to guide the viewer down the page to watch each film in turn, easily and sequentially - but it doesn't have to update. It could be like a permanent virtual gallery space showing just these videos. Thank you for having me. I had an AMAZING time.
