This indispensable collection offers 51 chapters, each focused on a
distinct American independent film. Screening American Independent
Film presents these films chronologically, addressing works from
across more than a century (1915-2020), emphasizing the breadth and
long duration of American Independent Cinema. The collection
includes canonical examples as well as films that push against and
expand the definitions of "independence." The titles run from
micro-budget films through marketing-friendly indiewood projects,
from auteur-driven films and festival darlings to B-movies, genre
pics, and exploitation films. The chapters introduce students to
different approaches within film studies from historical and
contextual framing, industrial and institutional analysis, politics
and ideology, genre and authorship, representation, film analysis,
exhibition and reception, and technology. Written by leading
international scholars and emerging talents in film studies, this
volume is the first of its kind. Paying particular attention to
issues of diversity and inclusion for both the participating
scholars and the content and themes within the selected films,
Screening American Independent Film is an essential resource for
anyone teaching or studying American cinema.
