Abstract

Smart film as discussed in this volume remains an extremely elastic term and constitutes a very broad church drawing on indie film that specifically addresses new-generational audiences and cineastes. Chapters 1 through to 4 set up the core attributes that define smart indie cinema as it is loosely conceived. Nevertheless, it remains difficult to confirm when smart cinema actually began – as evidenced within long discussions around postmodernism over the years – and so-called smart directors or films became more established and codified as the format developed and was aided, this study argues, by the DVD format.KeywordsCommentary TrackBonus FeatureAmerican CinemaFraming DebateDigital EffectThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
