'''Mumblecore''' is an [[Wikipedia:United States|American]] [[Wikipedia:independent film]] [[Wikipedia:Art movement|movement]] that arose at the turn of the 21st century.<ref name="Hoberman">Hoberman, J.

The term "mumblecore" was coined by [[Wikipedia:Dambuilders|Eric Masunaga]], a [[Wikipedia:sound editor]] who has worked with Bujalski. Masunaga coined the term one night at a [[Wikipedia:Bar (establishment)|bar]] during the 2005 [[Wikipedia:South by Southwest]] Film Festival, but it was Bujalski who first used it in an interview with [[Wikipedia:indieWIRE]].<ref name="Lim"/> The directors of the films are sometimes referred to collectively as "mumblecorps," as in press corps. Film journalists have also used the terms "bedhead cinema", and "Slackavetes," a [[Wikipedia:portmanteau]] derived from the title of [[Wikipedia:Richard Linklater]]'s dialogue heavy, [[Wikipedia:lo-fi]] 90s film ''[[Wikipedia:Slacker (film)|Slacker]]''<ref name="Lim"/> and the name of independent film director [[Wikipedia:John Cassavetes]].

The [[Wikipedia:IFC Center]] in [[Wikipedia:New York City]] exhibited a ten-film series of mumblecore films in 2007, titled "The New Talkies: Generation D.I.Y."<ref name="Lim"/>

New York-based [[Wikipedia:Benten Films]], a boutique DVD label run by film critics, has championed such mumblecore titles as Swanberg's ''[[Wikipedia:LOL (film)|LOL]]'', and Katz's first two films: ''[[Wikipedia:Dance Party USA (film)|Dance Party USA]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Quiet City (film)|Quiet City]]''.
