So the conventions of experimental film never become conventional?
Exactly what I was trying to say.
I guess the question becomes, for some, when in history does something swing from experimental to merely outre to conventional to cliche to Honda commercial?
How does that apply to an artist's ouvre over time? If their works don't radically change, are they suddenly relegated to the category of cliche-makers just because time has blunted the boldness of their pioneering works? Or are they grandfathered/grandmothered -- granted permanent outsider status?
Obviously one size does not fit all.

I love Jonas Mekas but if you tried to do what he did today it wouldn't be called experimental film, it'd be called a Honda commercial.
