About
(Richard Linklater, 1991, United States, 100 min, in English)
After a long run of sell-out shows in Austin in the early 90s, Richard Linklaters Slacker made a massive splash at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival. And although the film was given no awards at the festival, its minuscule budget and massive box office success post-festival proved to be a new and exciting model for independent filmmaking in the US outside of the film production epicenters of Los Angeles and New York City.
Slacker, directed by Richard Linklater, presents a day in the life of a loose-knit Austin, Texas, subculture populated by eccentric and overeducated young people. Shooting on 16 mm for a mere $23,000, writer-producer-director Linklater and his crew of friends threw out any idea of a traditional plot, choosing instead to create a tapestry of over a hundred characters, each as compelling as the last. Slacker is a prescient look at an emerging generation of aggressive nonparticipants, and one of the key films of the American independent film movement of the 1990s.
