Building on the legacy of the original Hollywood Hegemony project, Indy Film Library will begin publishing reviews of mainstream releases, classic retrospectives and industry analysis under the label. This is important because, as was always central to the original project, we at Indy Film Library have a commitment to “Reading between the frames to give you the bigger picture.”
Ideology is everywhere, it permeates every institution and aspect of our lives – often going unnoticed, or perceived as ‘common sense’. By ‘reading between the frames’, we mean exposing and examining those ideological preconceptions and norms the film industry reproduce as ‘normality’, and consider how that effects the content that millions of people know and love – the movies themselves.
