In the case of Fred Camper, he is dispersing his experience of the heyday of experimental film in 1960's New York. Camper is a bit of an anachronism, in the same way Nabokov must have been in Ithaca in the 1950's. As if you need to be reminded, this does not usually play very well in an MTV culture.
Camper speaks like the way many people ought to write.
He has perfect timing, tempo and speaks as if everything has been memorized from a script. He has a lovely voice that contains an inexplicable quality at its base. He'd cast a spell on a contemporary child because of how his meaning is delivered with efficient, soothing exactitude. This he delivers on. He is a good storyteller, though perhaps not of the kind children are associated with.
