TEDx: towards more intelligent and engaged film literature

My TEDx talk about film writing is online now - video embedded below, and the YouTube link is here. (Note: twenty minutes - with the constant awareness that the clock is ticking away - is scarcely enough time to articulate most of one's thoughts on a very complex subject, but I tried to cover a few basic points about film reviewing and longer-form film writing. When I get the time, I'll put up the text I had written out as preparation for this talk. Meanwhile I will of course continue to write on related subjects through my columns and blog posts, as I have done in the past.)
