Join writer, filmmaker, and academic Reid Schultz
on a journey through the changing landscape of American cinema after WWII. Learn about societal
transformations and their effect on the film industry
including the '50's boom in TV and other cultural
activities; the loosening of the censorship laws; and
Hollywood studios' loss of control over movie theater
chains. Class participants will examine the pioneers of
American independent film and how their works were
cinematically inventive, broke boundaries, subverted
conventions, and created new genre forms (Orson
Welles, John Cassavetes, George Romero, Russ Meyer,
Andy Warhol, Mike Nichols, Robert Altman, Francis
Ford Coppola, Dennis Hopper, John Sayles and many
others). Each week you will hear a lecture on a topic,
watch a full length film, and then have a post film
analysis and discussion. Withdrawals from this class
