Discuss the role international film festivals play in creating a discourse of identity for non-Western Cinemas
Originally posted by SlayI dunno, I quite like their name personally. I didn't know they were overrated either, I mean yeah Pitchfork bangs on about them and gives them massive ratings and the like, but overrated seems like maybe the wrong term. Still though, I see where you're coming from, their three albums are all very similar-sounding, but I guess I just like the style and feel of their music. Their next album is meant to be quite different to their other stuff.
I also think they're quite overrated. But that is my personal opinion. It's not my intent to kick-off some major discussion involving some posturing about who has the more obscure tastes or can come up with more pretentious superlatives. awehuhs
They're also lovely people, I went to see them in late 2014 and ended up getting pissed with the guitarist after the show. Proper cool bloke, we're still vaguely in touch.

They introduce shit to the random punters that usually don't get introduced to shit. At the same time, those random punters would never go to a film festival so really film festivals remain a sort of tête-à-tête for the crowds that are into non-Western Cinema anyway.
