[Frameworks] Sleazeball attacks on avant-garde film

[chris bravo]

Do you consider Sweetgrass and Leviathan experimental? It would be hard to
say the are "not" experimental, but I wonder if because there is not an
explicit identification of them as being experimental that allows them to
pass through the mainstream without anyone getting too mad about it.
Similarly with Act of Killing.
