Martin Arnold Video Art

I went with Kathleen last night to see a film history class taught by Gerar Edizel.  As a former art history buff, I still get excited about obscure art every once in a while although I've never been swept away by video art in general.  However, of the films that Gerar showed the other night, this one by Martin Arnold was my favorite.
Martin Arnold, Piece Touchee--(go ahead and skip to 28:10 for the Andy Hardy rework) "The cinema of Hollywood is a cinema of exclusion, reduction and denial, a cinema of repression. There is always something behind that which is being represented, which was not represented. And it is exactly that that is most interesting to consider."
