A standard go to method would be to pre-interview the film-maker - that is, if intelligence pertains. <br /><br />The harder one - get intelligent audiences. One would think that to be admitted to "screenings" would have a salutary effect - but I accept your observation as showing that practice does not necessarily conform to theory. <br /> <br />My limited experience (at our little "international" film festival in Anchorage) is that Q's and A's are worthwhile, non-trival affairs. It probably helps that the film-makers are not usually "famous" thus have fewer (or no) fans - expect for those ginned up at the showing. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Jahn Ghaltnoreply@blogger.com
