The Art And Politics Of Film.
Is Buffy "A symptom of the modern spiritual malaise that has infected the entire Western world."? An analysis. |
 A Conversation at the Swans Café...
John Steppling & David Walsh
Part I
(Swans - March 28, 2005) I initiated this discussion with David Walsh, as I have felt for a long time that film art (more even than other mediums and forms) is rarely talked about seriously. I asked David, with whom I have corresponded from time to time via the World Socialist Web Site where he is the arts editor, to participate because he is one of the few serious critics out there. His work consistently reflects his love of the medium and his knowledge of its history.
The dialogue had no real pre-arranged topics, except that I took a remark David made about the crisis in filmmaking as a starting point.

David,
I wanted to start with a remark you made about the crisis in film -- or maybe it was American film -- but either way it speaks to something I've thought about of late, which is just how terrible movies are these days. I want to add that I think we can range a bit historically and try and fit in some of the current situation with film-art of the past, directors and writers, and the dynamic between economics and personal expression in this most mediated of mediums.
