Frequently Asked Questions

What perspectives on art are covered in this collection?
A few distinct takes - being an artist "to the core" with a goal of elevating humanity, art shaping personal character, and two versions of the idea that film "is not the art of scholars but of illiterates" and should be watched straight on.
