Preview Declarations of Independence: American Cinema and the Partiality of Independent Production

Description:
American independent cinema has gained mainstream popularity in recent years as audiences tire of the bloated, clich?d spectacle of Hollywood films. But how independent are these movies?

This provocative volume questions the autonomy of independent film, asking if it is possible for a unique filmic vision to thrive in an industry of mass production.
