A FUTURE IN FILMS
Sir,-I don’t think I am sceptical to query Michael Forlong’s proposal that we institute baby Ivory Towers throughout the world to cater for intellectuals and classicists. As for Leftists-the Marxist knows that cliques are valueless; just as his theory must be united with his practice, so must his beliefs where the proletariat is concerned be integrated into one whole, It is just as idealistic of me to picture a world where every man and woman has an educated interest in the cinema as it is for Mr. Forlong to imagine that films can be free from vested interests "as literature and painting and music must be free." These things are not free; in existing world society, outside the Soviet Union, no artist is free. Freedom is an illusiona thing perhaps difficult to comprehend by those not artists, ©
