S.I.F.F. and Folklife play with varying degrees of audience consciousness. The spectacle does not exist without the idea of the "other," or the spectator, but the player and the viewer are intertwined. The constructionists of the spectacle, the workers, become as visually magnified as the movie viewers as. Their interactions with each other are always on public display. They try to create a separate social world between themselves and the viewers during the festival, but the separation between them and the mass is closely connected; they see themselves in relation to their "other."
