Air's note:
Hey Everyone,
Should we always do a page on the current genre of film we are watching or no? Like for this week we'd be doing a page on the Soviet Montage of Einstein or will that be taken care of with the three pages dedicated to him? Im just thinking that the actualities page might be a little lonely as the only film genre we've covered, especially if we've passed on the cool things happening in Russia, Germany and France during the pre-war years.
Jessica's note about Air's note:
I think that's a totally brill idea!
Ian's note about Air's note in response to Jessica's note:
I second the above brill- it's a really good idea.
William's note in responce to Ian's comment refering to Jessica's reference to Air
It sounds brilliant.
