In dieser Studie werden die Geschichte, Ökonomie und vor allem Politik des amerikanischen Independent-Films in seiner Beziehung zum Hollywood-Mainstream umfassend in den Blick genommen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, inwiefern der gegenwärtige Independent-Film nicht zuletzt aufgrund seiner industriellen und textuellen Nähe zum Zentrum der amerikanischen Filmindustrie noch eine Filmpraxis verkörpert, die nicht nur eine widerspenstige Alternative zum Hollywood-Kino darstellt, sondern allgemein den soziokulturellen Status quo herausfordert - insbesondere mittels interventionistischer Artikulationen von race, class und sex/gender. »Die Arbeit stellt eine wissenschaftliche Gratwanderung dar. Sie vermeidet einen Rundumschlag, der zwar den Gegenstandsbereich markiert, aber keinen Raum für weitergehende Überlegungen lässt. Gleichzeitig sind die an der Politik der Repräsentation ausgerichteten Einzelanalysen nicht so kleinteilig, dass das übergeordnete Phänomen des Independent-Kinos und der Kontext in dem es steht, aus dem Blick geraten.« Andrea Nolte, MEDIENwissenschaft, 3 (2006) »Der Arbeit gelingt ein Brückenschlag zwischen Zusammenschau und Tiefenanalyse. Das Ergebnis ist ambitioniert, aber keineswegs sperrig und in jedem Fall lesenswert. Insgesamt hebt sich die Publikation von der Masse filmwissenschaftlicher Veröffentlichungen ab und bereichert nicht nur die deutschsprachige Literatur zum amerikanischen Independent-Kino. Sie gleicht sich in ihrer Strategie interessanterweise ihrem Gegenstand an. Dort, wo es sinnvoll erscheint, dockt sie am ›wissenschaftlichen Mainstream‹ an. An einigen Stellen stößt sie sich aber erfreulicherweise von ihm ab.« www.amazon.de, 11.04.2006 Besprochen in: PUBLIZISTIK, 3 (2006) schnitt 42, (2006), Daniel Bickermann

Bringing alive a remarkable moment in American cultural history, Scott MacDonald tells the colorful story of how a small, backyard organization in the San Francisco Bay Area emerged in the 1960's and evolved to become a major force in the development of independent cinema. Drawing from extensive conversations with men and women crucial to Canyon Cinema, from its newsletter Canyon Cinema news, and from other key sources, MacDonald offers a lively chronicle of the life and times of this influential, idiosyncratic film exhibition and distribution collective. His book features many primary documents that are as engaging and relevant now as they were when originally published, including essays, poetry, experimental writing, and drawings.

"Slow Fade to Black completes Richard B. Jewell's richly detailed two-part history of the RKO film studio, which began with RKO Radio Pictures: A Titan Is Born, published in 2012. This second volume charts the studio's fortunes, which peaked during World War II, declined in the post-war period, and finally collapsed in the 1950s. With unparalleled access to archival materials, Jewell chronicles the period from 1942 to the company's demise in 1957. Some of the towering figures associated with the studio were Howard Hughes, Orson Welles, Charles Koerner, Val Lewton, Jane Russell, and Robert Mitchum. In addition to its colorful cast of characters, the RKO narrative features key moments in entertainment history: Hollywood collaboration with Washington, film noir, censorship, HUAC, the rise of independent film production, and the impact of television on film. Taken as a whole, Jewell's two-volume study represents the most substantial and insightful exploration of the Hollywood studio system to date"--Provided by publisher.
