[Frameworks] Asking for a friend

[Pip Chodorov]

Asking for a friend?  Hilarious subject line.

I think experiemental film's freedom comes from its marginality.
In this business there is no money or power because these films are 
outside the film industry and outside the art market. There is only 
passion, sharing, and working in cooperative communities.

That is not to say that there is no competition or territoriality 
between people or groups, we feel that maybe even stronger than in 
the film industry or the art market. But there is certainly no sense 
of entitlement over others due to one's position. There are no 
bosses, no job interviews, no big opportunities, no moguls... Also 
the nature of these film works are self-expression and thrashing out 
issues of difference and marginality and self-identity so it is a 
very welcoming community in those terms.

Of course there are other kinds of negative energies that can crop up 
in our communitiy besides sexual haassment, other, more 
"experimental" harassments that could be interseting to discuss...
