Rather than move chronologically through the decade, this course will approach the decade through an exploration of the significant movements within the industry and counter-movements that occurred in response. Starting with the collapse of the “Film School Generation,” we will look at how significant artists from the previous decade attempted to stay relevant while studios and distribution companies consolidated their power with through the release of franchise properties and “event” film. The class will also look at niche-specific independent filmmakers and the movements brought American independent cinema to a new position of prominence in the 1980s.
