new wave (film movement) <p>Mode of thought originating in the late 1950s, especially among French filmmakers such as Louis Malle, François Truffaut, Alain Resnais, and Jean-Luc Godard. The movement is most known for its theories based on the idea that directors that dominated their films became the film's author and creator. The style features innovations in film editing such as scene changes set in rapid sequence, or 'jump cuts', that produce disconcerting, disjunctive effects in the overall narrative.</p> <p>Source: Art &amp; Architecture Thesaurus</p> <p>http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/300022194</p>
