Well, the event went off very well, I thought.
You can read more about the details of my presentation here, and no doubt there'll be further follow-ups on the Floating Cinemas website and blog.

Sounds very interesting. I'm interested in how electronic media affect text/textual production and representation, especially since most e-books seem to be simulations of the codex.
When Gabriel White talks about 'minor cinema", that wouldn't be an apropriation and redeployment of Deleuze and Guattari's Minor Literature, whould it?
I wish I could make it, but it's a bit too far to travel....
Man, I wish you had been there, Ross. As you correctly predicted, it was indeed that notion of a minor literature which Gabriel was playing on. I think you might have quite enjoyed discussing it with him.
The problem was probably too many speakers and not enough time, as is so often the case on these occasions.
I'll be up in Auckland next year, so hopefully there'll be more of this kind of thing!
I'll post the script of my speech on the The Floating Cinemas Blog as soon as I get a free moment and do the footnotes. I've never read about the Minor Literature but I've read Deleuze on Kafka and Kant, which was great. The Minor lit thing as really a bit of a throw in!

The Minor Litereature is the book on Kafka - and I'm a bit of an acolyte. I look forward for reading.
The post on Flying Blind is up now.
