Re: [Videolib] Recap of Strike! 16mm screening last night

Your screening reminded me of people's (or worker's) theater actions, jury 
rigged setup and all. Music a la Fluxus? Nice idea. So, given the title, I 
suppose some could argue that compensation to somebody -- perhaps the artists 
-- was bypassed, but on the other hand perhaps corporate greed was subsumed by 
the community vibe. (But who would corporate be in this case?) A synth can 
certainly convey that allotment of faith. Hmm, I guess the final word is ... 
easier to apologize than ask ...? Now it's done, and the event has vanished 
into air ... move on to the next village and this time rig it up in the public 
square! But watch behind you.

Please let Sergei Eisenstein or Proletkult know that their rubles are in
the mail.

Anyhoo, there was no info as to the distributor or copyright info in the
leaders / tails or in the titles / credits.
