I do understand the incongruity you are trying to point out, but it's not
the same to watch an online preview, which sometimes can be a domestic
screener instead of a professional telecine watched on a laptop, than to
experience a print or a digital work projected properly in a darkened space
with the adequate sound system, etc. For some of us the* conditions of
reception and enunciation* of the work can become an integral part of the
work itself. Perhaps the festival you are referring to acknowledges and
values this kind of works.
