Hmm, interesting new article. I didn't realize that the film being shown neither showed any of the gruesome footage nor used it as the only example.
I find it funny that all the protestors felt they had to show up to criticize a movie that explored the public outcry and deplored the cat murder. Convenient (e.g. no brains necessary) target, I suppose; I bet none of them actually watched it or read a (relatively) unbiased criticism of the film before jumping on the bandwagon. EDIT: to make it entirely clear, I'm referring to the film shown at the film festival, not the "artistic" slaughter of the cat. The film at the film festival, which is getting all the publicity and is being heavily protested, appears to deal with the public reaction to these sorts of stunts. The cat-killing is referenced, but no footage from it is used in the movie, as far as I can tell. [ 09-17-2004, 01:12 AM: Message edited by: Aerich ]
