- Summary:
- This book examines how the Hollywood system lost its ability to support the creative filmmaker and the subsequent rise of independent filmmaking as a response to this failure. Somewhat of a Marxist interpretation of independent film as proletariat revolution against the class structures of the entrenched studio system, the volume chronicles and celebrates the work of independent filmmakers in seven countries: US, Canada, Mexico, Britain, France, Romania and South Korea with a focus on the impact digital technology has had on the movement. The material includes new interviews with Gus Van Sant, Mike Leigh, Claire Denis, Aton Egoyan, Catherine Breillat, Sally Potter, John Sayles and Ken Loach.
