We talk to Prismatic Ground founder Inney Prakash about starting a new experimental/documentary film festival with no budget that pays filmmakers, actually programs from submissions, and is free and accessible to all worldwide. We also talk about how visiting the Criterion Closet changes you, a New York niche celebrity performing lewd sexual acts on Succession, and more.
Hosted by Screen Slate editor Jon Dieringer, film archivist John Klacsmann, and filmmaker Caroline Golum. Audio engineer C. Spencer Yeh.
