It's a show that describes the films of from one of cinema's most turbulent years and brings you the political, cultural, and societal context. This show captures the very essence of this year in film and explains through deep analysis, historical insight, and political movements, just why the films of 1979 are so unique. It's about a turning point in cinematic history, with 1979 bringing about the end of the New Hollywood era, and heralding the Blockbuster era of the 1980's and 90's. It's that year of cinematic limbo, where films were more about reflecting the politics and culture of the time, no matter where in the world they were produced.
