1. Performance-He often challenges acting by doing little or no action. He focuses on the idea that no action or acting, is still acting if its being viewed by an audience.

Minimalism-He doesn't think of himself as a minimalist. Work and effort still goes into his lack of non-action. He therefore, doesn't promote himself as a minimalist.

Fluxus-Some of his films were incredibly simple and there wasn't a focus on giving a "good" performance, rather simply putting on a performance.

2. He wants to present the films and have them show what they intend to show. Almost as if displaying art in a public space.

3. Their growth is related to the interest and education involved in the avant garde at scholarly levels. As more and more film students took an interest in avant garde films Canyon Cinema regularly updated their film library and added content to their existing library.

4. Many of the older generations wanted Canyon to stick with true film, 16mm, 8mm, etc, rather than begin to accept newer technologies associated with video. The younger generation didn't want to completely replace film, but rather wanted Canyon to place their video works beside the films. Angerame didn't really care one way or the other, so long as Canyon Cinema still survived to distribute films

5. The advantage was that they got plenty of money from the NEA and didn't have to worry about funding (something that is always a major concern for the arts). Yet, since it was now under government control, certain films weren't approved in their catalog and Canyon had to drop them. Eventually the government won out, and the NEA dropped the funding from Canyon.
