Bluegrass Film Festival
Does anyone else have a problem with the Bluegrass Film Festival being dedicated to D.W. Griffith? I mean I know that he was born in Oldham County and was a revolutionary film maker, but I find it somewhat disturbing that they are going to dedicate the whole festival to him. And on the website it doesn't mention any of the controversy about him, which I think it odd.

I also don't think Oldham County should have a film festival, but that is just my Jefferson County superiority speaking...

2. I presume Bluegrass Film Festival because it is taking
place in KY, not because of music.

Is it the 100th anniversary of something DW Griffith did?

Just wondering.

3. I have a problem with it
D.W. Griffith was a major catalyst in making the KKK respectable. His film encouraged millions of Americans to join the Klan. By supporting
Griffith, Oldham County is supporting the Klan, fuck both of them.
