Independent Film Maker

An inspiration to European film-makers and to mainstream Hollywood, US independent cinema has blossomed in the late 80s and 90s with an enormous variety of idiosyncratic and challenging cinema coming to the fore. Sight and Sound magazine has captured much of the excitement of this vital, intelligent and often quirky cinema as it happened. This book, part of a new series of Sight and Sound Readers, combines interviews with directors, features on major genres and reviews of some of the key films released derived from the pages of the magazine. The editor Jim Hillier adopts a broad definition of US indie film including material on the Coen brothers, Quentin Tarantino, Gus van Sant, Jim Jarmusch, Rose Troche, Todd Haynes, Hal Hartley and many more besides.

What makes a "cult film"? It's a question that is not easy to answer because a film that one group of dedicated fans regards highly enough to elevate to cult status may leave others wondering what all the fuss is about. Cultvision looks closely at the way in which the creators of films like Being John Malkovich, Baraka, Eraser Head and Amelie have translated their fantasies into films with such impact that they have become part of the collective memory. In in-depth interviews leading independent film makers such as Jean Pierre Jeunet, David Lynch, Roman Copola Fruit Chan, and Spike Jonze discuss their craft and use several well-known cult films as points of reference.
