I found the films from this past screening to in interesting but a little less so than previous films. Something about these new 1990s films was missing. Sun in My Head was an interesting way to look at the televisions affect on our life and the numbing sensation it has after hours of watching it, which can easily be compared to the sun and its blinding effect. I feel like it had a good idea to work from but almost fell flat in its ability to be "avant garde" and innovative. I guess that is what was lacking from the majority of the films was their sense of purpose and ability to show you something like no one else has look at it before. To me the films we watched, while they were important to see as an understanding of the class they also justify the idea that the avant-garde died in the mid 1960s.
