Avant-garde scrawls? Issue-based mini-dramas?

before quentin and pt, the relevant question was "what were student films like before david lynch and spike lee?" and before THAT, probably "what were student films like before martin scorsese and brian depalma?"

strap a camera to the bonnet and go for a burn was popular in the early 80's.

i seem to remember super 8 had quite a cred cache c.1983. remakes of zombie films a bonus.

Lots of self-indulgent films with the director hanging from a cross, etc. The only interesting student films I have seen have been short documentaries and experimental films. Students just can seem to pull off narratives (of course, I mostly hate narrative filmmaking to begin with, so I guess I'm a bit biased).

seventeen years pass...

I love Fiona Apple because she described hanging out with Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson as “excruciating.” Look at her face.
