Beginning in the 1960s, when American independent film rises out of the ashes of a declining Hollywood, we will chart the rise in popularity of the independent film, through the “film school generation” of the early 1970s, the quirky mid-1980s (Soderbergh, Coen brothers, Spike Lee), then into the “Tarantino” 1990s. Prerequisite: FILM 100, 110, 120, or 121. Recommended Preparation: ENGL 848. Credit/No Credit or letter grade option. (CSU/UC)
