From the very beginning of cinema, there have been amateur
filmmakers at work. It wasn't until Kodak introduced 16mm film in
1923, however, that amateur moviemaking became a widespread
reality, and by the 1950s, over a million Americans had amateur
movie cameras. In "Amateur Cinema, "Charles Tepperman explores the
meaning of the "amateur" in film history and modern visual culture.
In the middle decades of the twentieth century--the period that
saw Hollywood's rise to dominance in the global film industry--a
movement of amateur filmmakers created an alternative world of
small-scale movie production and circulation. Organized amateur
moviemaking was a significant phenomenon that spawned dozens of
clubs and thousands of participants producing experimental,
nonfiction, or short-subject narratives. Rooted in an examination
of surviving films, this book traces the contexts of "advanced"
amateur cinema and articulates the broad aesthetic and stylistic
tendencies of amateur films.
