New Hollywood
New Hollywood was a groundbreaking filmmaking movement that transformed American cinema from the mid-1960s through the early 1980s.
Emerging as the influence of the traditional studio system declined, a new generation of directors gained unprecedented creative freedom, producing ambitious, character-driven films inspired by European art cinema and contemporary social issues. Filmmakers including Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Brian De Palma, Robert Altman, Hal Ashby and William Friedkin redefined the language of cinema through classics such as The Godfather, Taxi Driver, The Conversation, Jaws, Apocalypse Now and The French Connection.
New Hollywood is widely regarded as one of the most influential periods in film history, reshaping storytelling, directing and the role of the auteur in American cinema.
