I hope all noticed at least one group of warm bodies near you who got in 
touch via FrameWorks when they saw your locale. I think more real 
connections would happen if people identified themselves and their 
location(s).

The program you are teaching in sounds great, the kind of thing I'd 
consider if it came my way.

I'm proud to be remembered for having mentioned a sublimely great piece 
of classical music. Perhaps sometime I can find an excuse to post on 
Ockeghem's /Missa Prolationem/. I do think the decline of interest in 
"classical" music could somewhow be connected to the decline of formal 
complexity in new art and new cinema, and that in general pop/rock 
offers less interesting models for filmic structure.

I guess i don't understand the reason for your criteria, but so be it. 
The sound track to /The End/ may be "just" words and music, but it's 
very self-aware, calling attention to itself and to the viewing 
situation ("The person next to you is a leper.") I second the mentions 
of /Very Nice, Very Nice/, a film whose sound track was actually 
composed first. I don't know if a print can be rented by the NFB has a 
high-res version on their site. Lipsett's /21-87/ could be considered too.
