Hollywood was riding high until their formula got to be stale. In places like Italy and France (as well as other places in the world we'll talk about soon) filmmakers were starting to break out of the mold and make daring films that challenged the idea of what movies were and what audiences wanted. In this episode of Crash Course Film History, Craig takes us through the beginnings of independent cinema

Hey guys, I know some of you are annoyed that this has been condensed to the core. However, there are some good lectures done by MIT which I thought were pretty good. Your opinion may differ from mine, but they-re helping me quite a bit. They average between 45 mins to an hour long and devote three episodes to the Italian Neorealism movement and not sure how many episodes there are for the French new wave but the time dedicated to it is decent. Can-t really complain about what you-re getting for free, especially from MIT, I guess.

This video is yet another tiresome and highly inaccurate portrayal of the American Independent film movement. The movement is the result of early works by the likes of John Cassavetes, Morris Engel and Ruth Orkin. Following in their tradition is the late Barbara Loden, Jim Jarmusch, late Robert Altman, Kelly Reichhart, Andrew Bujalski, Todd Haynes, late Charles Burrnet and many others. Please spend more time researching before attempting to summarize crucial film history.

What do you think about doing an Independent Cinema Part 2 talking about current independent studios and digital distributors, filmmaking, and the commonly historically repeated, re-hash syndrome. Perhaps throw some strauss howe generational theory cross pollination hypothesis into the mix?

Please do a series on Music History.
Also I feel that Independent Film since it's inception has always been sort of more artistically driven than big Hollywood films. Italian Neo-Realism would be a huge influence on Martin Scorsese which can be seen very clearly in Raging Bull.

Thanks for the video, very informative. Could you please allow more time to see and hear perhaps? Talking slower, having slightly longer cuts to make it more enjoyable and less snappy? Just an idea, thanks again for taking the time.

How about the - British Kitchen Sink- and -Angry Young Man- movies: This Sporting Life, A Taste of Honey, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Billy Lair, Georgy Girl and Sunday Bloody Sunday.

This whole series is very very interesting. I've been looking around for something like this but I couldn't find it. Thank you so much for making this! And I love Craig! He's really funny

Great series, but how can a video on indie cinema not mention John Cassavettes? Or Roger Corman for that matter, who gave way to the Movie Brats and New Hollywood cinema.

I feel like this episode really wrapped things up too quickly, Italian Neo-Realism was so influential that it deserved it's own.

It's pronounced -chinecitta- in Italian -ci- makes a -chi- sound and -chi- makes a -ci sound. It's basically Opposite Day. -
