not normal union activity.
For example, I'm working here in Spain with a very talented Spanish composer/musician who would very much like to get into the (international) film-scoring business. AFM says he should not be allowed to, based on nationality/country of residence. WTF?
In that case all sorts of barriers ought to be raised by all other countries in the world to prevent US/Canadian cinematic (& TV etc, I suppose?) products being sold in their markets, thus fostering non-US/Canadian production and providing work opportunities for non-US/Canadian artists - not a bad idea, come to think of it, what with all the 'Americanisation' screwing with minds and work opporunities in so many non-American world cultures.
If you don't mind me saying so.
