	Cinema of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A major change to American filmmaking occurred during the 1970s when a new breed of young directors who had degrees from film schools and who had absorbed the techniques developed in Europe in the 1960s emerged.
		American independent cinema was revitalized in the late 1980s and early 1990s when another new generation of moviemakers, including Spike Lee, Steven Soderbergh, Kevin Smith, and Quentin Tarantino made movies like, respectively, Do the Right Thing, Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Clerks.
		To a lesser degree in the 2000s, film types that were previously considered to have only a minor presence in the mainstream movie market began to arise as more potent American box office draws.

		Although there are films in the NFAT in desperately advanced stages of deterioration, nobody wants to risk alienating their benefactor by imposing the most complex, demanding jobs on them immediately.
