The New Hollywood: An American Revolution

 Weekly through September, 2025

A repertory series paying tribute to the transformative generation of filmmakers, whose creativity and vision shook up an aging studio system and brought to the American screens fresh ways to look at the Country, new cinematic languages, and an empowered notion of the director.

The New Hollywood era was a veritable revolution fueled by a new generation of young, cinephile filmmakers that subverted storytelling conventions and brought production from Californian soundstages to gritty city streets and the American heartland, thus meeting the needs of a changing culture and its audience. Their cinema reflected youth, the spirit of the counterculture, and the unrest of the country.
