This third volume of the successful Directory of World Cinema
series to focus on American independent filmmaking presents
in-depth essays on forty-four filmmakers who have primarily worked
outside the mainstream or on its industrial margins. Contributors
offer close analyses of the work of both widely acknowledged
auteurs and little-known provocateurs who deserve much wider
recognition. Major names discussed include Wes Anderson, Jim
Jarmusch, Dennis Hopper, Sofia Coppola and Darren Aronofsky, with
attention also paid to cult directors like Larry Cohen, Zalman King
and Ti West. The resulting book is both a who's who of contemporary
independent cinema in America and a reminder that the ways of
making films outside the studio system are incredibly varied - and
can be powerfully effective.
