Independent Cinema by D K Holm
Just what is 'independent' cinema? D. K. Holm aims to define a term all too carelessly used both by media commentators and marketers, and distinguish it from categories such as avant-garde, underground, experimental or 'art' films, with which it is often confused. By contrasting studio-era Hollywood with changes in the business since the 1970s, and the rise of companies such as Miramax and New Line, it shows the birth of a commercial environment in which the new independent cinema can emerge. Profiles of specific filmmakers suggest how diverse personalities use independent cinema for individual ends; directors such as James Mangold, who found indie cinema to be a stepping stone to more mainstream movies, Jill Sprecher, who uses its flexibility to explore philosophical ideas, and Guy Maddin, one of the few true independent filmmakers, whose films are beholden to his own unique vision rather than financiers or abstract audience markets.
well produced, comprehensive yet compact in size and succinctThey include focused content, reviews of key films and even relevant DVDs as part of the package! They border on the authoritive when it comes to content and offer overviews of major film genres in bite sized packages... of interest not only to the film fanatic but to any student of cinema, indeed they would prove of exceptional value in TAFE and University film courses * Synergy Magazine *
D. K. Holm has written for Willamette Week, PDXS, among other publications, and now has columns at Kevin Smith's MoviePoopShoot.com. He edited an anthology of Robert Crumb interviews for the University of Mississippi Press and has a forthcoming book on Guy Maddin.
