Channeling the DIY attitude of the punk underground, the boundary-pushing independent filmmakers of the 1980s offered up an edgy alternative to overblown Hollywood blockbusters and the straight-laced conservatism of the Reagan era. Showcasing landmark classics and ripe-for-discovery gems, this sprawling six week, 50+ film series is a cinematic snapshot of a decade between the golden age of 70s New Hollywood and the indie boom of the 90s. Indie 80s showcases visual artists, underground filmmakers, past and future mainstream directors and more, including seminal Reagan-era independents such as Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise, Robert Townsend’s Hollywood Shuffle, Errol Morris’ The Thin Blue Line, Gus Van Sant’s Mala Noche, and many more to be announced.
