Sometimes coined “mumblecore,” a new group of young filmmakers has emerged on the film festival circuit in the past few years. Embracing intimate stories, low budget shooting techniques, improvised dialogue, and untrained actors, these films fall far outside the studio system and instead rely on a core group of collaborators to tell achingly real stories about twenty-somethings and their work, love and play.

To coincide with the IFC Center’s film series “The New Talkies: Generation DIY,” Wednesday, August 22 -Tuesday, September 4, indieWIRE is pleased to present: Joe Swanberg (Hannah Takes the Stairs, LOL), Aaron Katz, (”Dance Party USA, Quiet City), Greta Gerwig, (Hannah Takes The Stairs), and Aaron Hillis (Fish Kill Flea) , who will participate in amoderated discussion about filmmaking, their similar styles and differences, and the definition of “independent.”

The event will be moderated by indieWIRE Editor in Chief Eugene Hernandez.

When: August 23
Where: Apple Store, Soho, NYC
When: 7:00 PM
