No Wave Cinema was a Colab sponsored[1] boom (1976–1985) in underground filmmaking on the Lower East Side of New York City. Its name, much like its cousin No Wave music, was a stripped down style of guerrilla filmmaking that emphasized mood and texture above other concerns.

This brief movement, also known as New Cinema (after a short-lived screening room on St. Mark’s Place run by several filmmakers on the scene), had a significant impact on both underground film, spawning the Cinema of Transgression (Beth B, Richard Kern, Nick Zedd, Tessa Hughes Freeland and others) and a new generation of independent filmmaking in New York (Jim Jarmusch, Tom DiCillo, Steve Buscemi, and Vincent Gallo).

Filmmakers associated with the movement included Charlie Ahearn, Beth B and Scott B, Manuel DeLanda, Vivienne Dick, Jim Jarmusch, Richard Kern, Eric Mitchell, James Nares, Amos Poe, Susan Seidelman, Casandra Stark Mele, Nick Zedd.

In 2011, French filmmaker Céline Danhier made a documentary film entitled BLANK CITY. The film presents an oral history of No Wave Cinema through interviews with Jim Jarmusch, John Waters, Steve Buscemi, Debbie Harry, Fab 5 Freddy, Thurston Moore, Richard Kern, Jack Sargeant, Amos Poe, Susan Seidelman, Charlie Ahearn, and Nick Zedd. The soundtrack includes Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, James Chance and the Contortions, Bush Tetras, Sonic Youth and many more.[2]
