Brown Bag Program ~ The Legacy of American Independence Cinema

Although there have been independent filmmakers in the U.S. since the 1960s, it wasn't until the 1980s and big hits like Sex, Lies and Videotape that the independent film movement made its presence felt. Twenty years on we have an opportunity to evaluate the impact of this movement—the new talents it introduced and how it changed the look of movies, the film industry, and our expectations of what American films should be.

Join Dr. Andre Millard for this fascinating discussion as the Sidewalk Film Festival approaches. Wednesday, September 24, noon.

Feed your body and mind at BPL's Brown Bag Programs. You bring the lunch and we'll bring the drinks. Wednesdays at noon in the Arrington Auditorium located on the 3rd floor of the Linn-Hinley Research Library, 2100 Park Place.
