[Frameworks] films for the anthropocene

[Marco Poloni]

Hi Bernie,
Maybe we should have this conversation off list. As I just wrote it's
an itemized list that I shared on request of some members of
frameworks to comunicate what selection of films my idea brought me
to.
To answer specifically, yes they were shown digitally (including my
work, shot on film). I'd be happy to hear of a school of art that has
the budget to rent a 16mm and a 35mm projector for an audience of 12
students. So the choice is to share knowledge with the means available
to you, or to keep it to yourself.
Marco
