But if art cant be offensive, it ceases to be art - it becomes kitsch. An endless repetition of the same ideas, as noone dares to try new things. Im not sure if this film was mostly art or mostly documentory. Either way, I suspect it might be using the old trick of stiring up sone contriversy to create attention. I am also quite confident that the FRC would have no objections at all if the government were spending its money to finance a film reflecting conservative views :> Everyone likes a good excuse to point to someone else as corrupted and dirty while polishing their own armor.

We need somehow to get the governmant out of the business of lending any finacial support to independent filmmakers. When it comes to art, there will always be someone offended.
