Richard Wolstencroft unresigns from directing Melbourne Underground Film Festival and declares MUFF a "radical free speech event". Discusses independent filmmaking, censorship, Boyd Rice, Adrian Martin, Genre, group think and his high school media teacher.. http://www.muff.com.au/

Disclaimer: A few people have had a quiet "off-the-record" word with me about this podcast, that they are concerned by the very idea of me interviewing Richard Wolstencroft at all, even before hearing the podcast. But I will say the same thing here as I have in private - Richard has done plenty of important things for independent film while others wouldn't. To say I shouldn't interview Richard because he is "right wing" is as ridiculous as saying I shouldn't have interviewed my various left-wing guests for the same reason. Im less interested in the politics of film and more interested in people actually doing stuff. The living active culture of film and the personalities within it.
