NH: Yes, you're right about that. I'd probably find it more interesting
to discuss independent sf film. But it's so much *fun* to dish the big
guys! Anybody seen any independent sf film/video that they think is
grist for this discussion? I always immediately think of Julie Dash's
"Daughters of the Dust." I'll be attending the Toronto International
Film Festival in September, and I'm hoping to stumble across some
speculative fiction there.
