>> I would be grateful to you to see a list of festivals where you found this to be the case, so I could avoid them. I've never taken the time to notice if they watched my films or not. Your list would be a service to the community and perhaps community action, such as an informal boycott, might be the just response to this kind of dishonest practice.
