It's very hard to approach an explanation on why the slow progress, quite honestly it can also range into other mediums such as music and video games. I'm not sure that's an accurate explanation either, but I like it more than blaming neoliberalism in general. With less focused attention there's less momentum for new film movements. I was going to say technology has changed viewing habits, fracturing the audience and reducing attention toward arthouse films that are currently being made. The wheels propelling cultural change forward are, before our very eyes, grinding to a halt. As such, it also heralded the atomisation and stagnation of art, culture and fashion. It’s the brainchild and passion project of Karina Longworth (founder of, former film critic for LA Weekly), who writes, narrates, records and edits each episode.
