ahh – I missed that. I just spent a pleasant two hours looking through back issues of ‘screen’ in the library. Alan gave us a list of theorists/writers to look up, so I hit the shelves. believe it or not, I’m well known in the library: I like it there, and two hours just slipped by.

film is halfway between science and art. many writers treat it as a scieence – or, at least, a pseudoscience – proposing theories and models, most of which stem from marxist, or marxist-feminist tradition. this includes the frenh new wave. i am really looking forward to getting to grips with it – head stuck in a book, as the sounds of the library murmer and grow faint.

peace.
