Independent Cinema

D. K. Holm

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 such as Guy Maddin, Jill Sprecher and James Mangold suggest how diverse personalities use independent cinema for individual ends.
