Tom gunning

I wonder what Gunning would think of cinema now if he could see it. Early in his article he talked about hoe film was slave to the narrative driven mold and not much of the avante-garde, and that was back in 1906, we did't really break that mold since, not that I think thats a bad thing though. Maybe he would take comfort in the fact that there is now a generation of artist who still are doing the avant grarde but by different mediums, not just film.
