The young directors of the French New Wave

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The young directors of the French New Wave borrowed money to make short films and features using location shooting. This was a key aspect of their approach to filmmaking, as they sought to break away from the studio-bound, formulaic style of classical Hollywood cinema. They also tended to work independently or in small groups, rather than under the tutelage of older filmmakers or within the studio system. While they did form a cooperative known as the "Cinémathèque française," there was not a group called the "Société des Auteurs."
