(3.00 cr.)

A survey of American independent filmmakers who have influenced mainstream cinema, including Stan Brakhage, Jonas Mekas, Michael Snow, Jordan Belson, John Whitney, Stan VanDerBeek, Nam June Paik, and Andy Warhol. Forgoing commercial careers, these artists went "underground" to retain artistic freedom in their choice of subjects and techniques. Students draw upon readings, lecture, and screenings to critique underground films in class discussions and papers.
