An indie documentary about the underground indie-film craze in New York City in the late ’70s — sort of a low-budget SparkNote to the big bang of Super 8. The archive footage is expectedly atrocious, but it does garner some nostalgia for the time — the outlaw attitude, the financially crippled creativity, the urban rot of the Big Apple. Through interviews, the early filmmakers provide some talking-head narration that reaches for substance, interspliced with snippets of their films. At best, some of the talent that has survived (Jim Jarmusch, Steve Buscemi) offers some diverting exposition. (2011) — John Rubio
