Film-makers outside nearby house accosted by police. Policewoman prevents further filming. Students labelled Ernst Block and Georgy Lukacs read passages on popular art.

Talks about American collectors of folk art, described by one as "anti-depressant pictures". Says some naive painters can become "too good".
