Homogenous Table Fellowship, 2 March 2004
Author: Single-Black-Male from London, England

This short film is a reflection of the type of people that the 34 year old D.W. Griffith feels are credible to be around. He's creating a world for himself: the Griffithiana community of players, saying to his audience that these are the type of people that you should invite round for dinner, rather than the marginalized. He paints a picture contrasting the mainstream with the poor, allowing them to sink into oblivion to advance the agenda of the fashionable. There is no real structure to this film, and doesn't even follow the convention of a short story. It has little to redeem it, and causes more division than actual entertainment.
