For more than 30 years, New York's repertory movie houses
specialized in presenting films ignored by mainstream and art house
audiences. Curating vintage and undistributed movies from various
countries, they educated the public about the art of film at a time
when the cinema was beginning to be respected as an art form.
Operating on shoestring budgets in funky settings, each repertory
had its own personality, reflecting the preferences of the (often
eccentric) proprietor. While a few theaters existed in other
cities, New York offered the greatest number and variety. Focusing
on the the active years from 1960 through 1994, this book documents
the repertory movement in the context of economics and film
culture.
