dc.description.abstract	Scholarship concerning allusion as a cinematic device is practically non-existent, however, the prevalence of the device within the medium is quite abundant. In light of this, this study seeks to understand allusion on its own terms, exploring its adaptation to cinema. Through a survey of the effective qualities of allusion, a taxonomy of allusionary types, film theory, and allusion’s application in independent cinema, it is apparent that allusion excels within the cinematic form and demonstrates the great versatility and maximalist nature of the discipline. With the groundwork laid out by this study, hopefully further scholarship will develop on the topic of allusion in order to properly understand such a pervasive and complex tool.	en_US
