another film festival note

The Prince Music Theater needs to fix its sound system. Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life is challenging to begin with; but when the already impenetrable dialogue is unintelligible because of lousy sound design in an over-large cinema, you get what we had: a steady stream of viewers exiting the space as the film turned. During a screening that the expatriate creators attended and where they were honored with a festival award.

Embarrassing.
