    I would like to suggest a film tackling the issue of authenticity in art and the ontological status of mainstream gallery-art: ‘F is for Fake’, a film by Orson Welles (France, Iran, West Germany, 1974)

    Art Film Soc:
    thanks for the suggestion, it does seem to be a promising one indeed.

    Frank, I think it’s the second most boring film by Ceylan! (Did you watch and like it?) I’d rather screen ‘Uzak’. You know that one?

    aw, come on, its not that bad, C.! why are you so hard on Turkish films?? 🙂 ok, I admit I made the suggestion before seeing the film, and it wasnt as good as I had been led to expect…. ….
    still, I wdnt mind a break from the voyeur films. what happened to those fun philms we used to see? 😉 I withdraw the above suggestion, if you can propose sth better…

    I’ve already proposed ‘Uzak’, and we’ll probably have that one next term. But Frank, there are two things I didn’t understand: “Break from voyeur films”? Why? If your claim is that it’s been too repetitive, I can’t agree with that. I believe that in the ongoing series we’ve seen *too many* issues, signifying a great variety. (In fact I think it’s even legitimate to criticize me for putting too many different things in the same bag.) On top of this, I wish you were present in “Man with a movie camera” (last friday) – you’d possibly find the break you’re asking for. (It’s a very good film by the way, you’d like it. I suggest you to download it from archive.org) And the other thing I didn’t understand: What do you mean by a “fun philm”? It seems, some films we screened last year (or the year before) impressed you. Let me know those, okay?
