The Cinema of Generation X: A Critical Study of Films and Directors

Peter Hanson

This is a critical study of Generation X film directors and how they have been influenced by generational identity. While Generation X as a whole sometimes seems to lack direction, its filmmakers have devoted their careers to making powerful statements about contemporary society and their generation’s role in it. Each of the book’s sections deals with an aspect of Gen-X filmmaking: the influence of popular culture, postmodern narrative devices,
slackerdom
and lack of direction, disenfranchisement and nihilism, the ever-evolving role of technology, gender issues and sexuality, the question of race, international peers, the influence of older filmmakers, and visions for the future.
