I mean, certainly writing, painting, photography, dance, architecture, there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.
I mean, certainly it`s the single biggest event, I think, in terms of popular entertainment, or art even, if you say that, of the 20th Century. It`s been film. It`s the 20th Century`s real art form.
I don`t know about liberal bias, but people of a liberal mentality are probably attracted in greater numbers to the arts than people of a conservative mentality.
