There is simply nothing like this book in terms of its scope, its depth and its nuanced history of independent filmmaking.' Thomas G. Schatz, University of Austin, Texas 'The second edition of American Independent Cinema rocks! Covering influential films, surveying cultural shifts, and charting industrial changes from the mid-1920s and the studio era to today's digital age of media convergence, AIC is an authoritative, readable, and eminently teachable study of what is now a vast and complicated field.' Chris Holmlund, University of Tennessee-Knoxville This introduction to American independent cinema offers both a comprehensive industrial and economic history of the sector from the early twentieth century to the present, and a study of key individual films, filmmakers and film companies. Ordered chronologically, the book begins with independent filmmaking in the studio era (examining both top-rank and low-end independent film production), before it moves to the 1950s and 1960s (discussing the adoption of independent filmmaking as the main method of studio production and exploring its relationship to exploitation filmmaking) and the 1970s (focusing on how independent film production was organised in the years of the Hollywood Renaissance and under the increased conglomeration of the American film industry). The book finishes with a detailed examination of contemporary American independent cinema (exploring such areas as the rise of the mini-majors and the studios' specialty film divisions, the institutionalisation of independent cinema in the 1990s and its on-going transformation under the impact of media convergence and digital technology). Each chapter includes case studies which focus on specific films, filmmakers and companies. Thoroughly updated to include developments from the mid-2000s onwards, this second edition includes new case studies, a new chapter analysing recent industrial, institutional and technological changes that have transformed the sector, a new prologue, a new epilogue that explores American independent cinema's relationship to television and an enhanced bibliography.
