For a different perspective from Dr. Lunenfeld's, Screen-L subscribers might want to see my essay "The Myth of Independent Film" reprinted as a chapter in PUBLIC BROADCASTING AND THE PUBLIC TRUST, edited by David Horowitz and yours truly. I discuss Maya Deren and some of the other names he mentions. The book should be in most libraries, Amazon.com, some giant bookstores. And, if anyone wants a copy and can't find it elsewhere, just send me a stamped self-addressed envelope for a 15 ounce package and I'll ship you a copy (I still have some in my basement).
