I'm familiar only with bit.listerv.cinema-l.  It is not moderated.  Messages
tend to be a little more serious than rec.arts.movies but don't get into
(usually) social issues related to cinema, production values and techniques,
etc.  If that is your objective, then you should plow ahead and hope that the
serious cinema buffs/professionals will find your forum.
