Since the explosion in low-budget filmmaking in the 1960s, the
"independent" film scene has produced some of the most innovative
and successful films of recent years, such as "Easy Rider" and "The
Blair Witch Project." But how independent is independent cinema
today? And what are the artistic and economic concerns that
separate it from Hollywood?
"Contemporary American Independent Film" is a comprehensive
examination of the independent film scene. Exploring the uneasy
relationship between independent films and the major studios,
contributors trace the changing ideas and definitions of
independent cinema, and the diversity of independent film
practices. They consider the ways in which indie films are marketed
and distributed, and how new technologies such as video, cable and
the internet have offered new opportunities for filmmakers to
produce and market independent films.
Turning to the work of key auteurs such as John Sayles and Haile
Gerima, contributors ask whether independent filmmakers can also be
stars, and consider how indie features like "Boys Don't Cry "and
"Shopping for Fangs "address issues of gender, sexuality and
ethnicity normally avoided by Hollywood.
