As a period of film history, The American New Wave (ordinarily understood as beginning in 1967 & ending in 1980) remains a preoccupation for scholars & audiences alike. In traditional accounts, it is considered to be bookended by two periods of conservatism, & viewed as a (brief) period of explosive creativity within the Hollywood system. From Bonnie & Clyde to Heaven’s Gate, it produced films that continue to be watched, discussed, analysed &  poured over.
It has, however, also become rigidly defined as a cinema of director-auteurs who made a number of aesthetically &  politically significant films. This has led to marginalization & exclusion of many important artists & filmmakers, as well as a temporal rigidity about what & who is considered part of the ‘New Wave proper’. This collection seeks to reinvigorate debate around this area of film history. It also looks in part to demonstrate the legacy of aesthetic experimentation & political radicalism after 1980 as part of the ‘legacy’ of the New Wave. Thanks to important new work that questions received scholarly wisdom, reveals previously marginalised filmmakers (& the films they made), considers new genres, personnel, & films under the banner of ‘New Wave, New Hollywood’, & reevaluates the traditional approaches & perspectives on the films that have enjoyed most critical attention, New Wave, New Hollywood: Reassessment, Recovery, Legacy looks to begin a new discussion about Hollywood cinema after 1967.
