I've been thinking about the purpose of this board. What is your opinion:
Do you think this should be a place to talk only about "high cinema", with words like "movie" or "director" forbidden (there are only "films" and "auteurs") with no "capeshits" and blockbusters and allowed,
Or, a place for discussion about every single film with no prejudices, as long it is a film and there is a discussion, not spamming pictures of Aiden Gillan. (there's
>>>/tv/ for that)
Discuss, state your mind.

Hello, /film/.
>>>/atv/ board owner here.
Our board was created to fill the void of a place to discuss TV shows in a more slow appreciative manner, as threads about less popular shows simply die out on the current /tv/ climate, in the vein of /film/'s board culture. As well as popcorny movies, animations and all that secondary media that doesn't suit this board.
Feel welcome to post there, and we will be linking to /film/ (and /tv/) in our announcement links, unless the board owner here tell us not to.

At long last someone has made a boardwatcher script. This script gives you a notification when any of your favorite boards has a new post. You no longer have to waste time checking a bunch of boards manually. It has great potential for a slow board like this one.
https://gitgud.io/trackanon/boardtracker/
Be sure that /film/ is one your favorites and paste this script into your User JS:
// ==UserScript==
// @name 8chan favorite board tracker
// @description Checks any board you have favorited for new posts.
// @include /^https?://.*8ch\.net/.*$/
// @namespace https://8ch.net/

var BoardTracker = {

I've been getting a fever about learning photography, it crossed my mind that back in Halfchan we had a board about that same topic. Doing an odd search on our front page here landed a result that at some point we also had a photography place with the same legacy name, /p/.
Standing at 1713 posts we can say the place was never a hotspot even in their early 2nd exodus days of October 2014, but they still go at it with the latest posts being as recent as 10 days ago ...so yes, still some activity around.
The point i wanted to reach was how about a photography general thread with those folks being formally invited? I know it's silly to ask for consensus but it's even sillier to start a thread with a complete amateur as myself. Sure even the old child modelling board with thousands of deleted posts got more activity but this would probably add some talent into the thread and reinvigorate that board's seemingly inert userbase, all 3 of them, plus i think maybe some anons might be interested here.
Just saying

I've thought about making a photography thread before. I can't offer practical expertise though. So I intended to post about directors who were photographers, films about photography, and also a general imagedump of cool photos.

you obviously have no idea what an auteur is. it's as clear as day that you're all just pretentious tryhards. i've seen so many posts where people hate on movies or directors just because of their popularity, while everything obscure is GOAT based on nothing but its obscurity. go read some books so you at least have the knowledge to match up to the level of your pretentiousness.

>all these general threads
This board looks like a comment section on imdb to recommend more related movies.
If were not for the chilling humor or out of topic subjects, /tv/ would have a better userbase for discussions of cinema. Sadly they have no taste.
But I've seen more good films being discussed there than on here.

The term "general thread" makes me think of fast-moving chit-chat about news happenings or whatever, not so much a slow thread dedicated to a specific topic.
General topic threads are pushed aside whenever /film/ gets linked somewhere and a bunch of people come. New users make low-effort threads that don't get much traction and are soon forgotten. So I'm not sure if that is an improvement?
An unfortunate drawback of these old threads is they make the board feel stale. I suppose the page count could be reduced to force more freshness. But that leads to a new problem of potentially losing "valuable" threads like references and requests.

Not sure if this question can be posted here...
I see that this board is about arthouse films. Is there a place to discuss about "mediocre", not popular genre films? They can be bad and silly, but I have such a soft spot for them. I've had a hard time finding a place to discuss about them (sanely) on the internet :/

There is so much content here that I don't want this board to be abandoned. I'm too stubborn to change haha.
Actually I came here after the imdb boards were shut down (someone lists this board as one of the sites for film discussion). Such a nice cozy place for a chan site.
