Jim Jarmusch (born January 22, 1953) has been considered one of the leading and most critically acclaimed voices in American independent cinema since the 1980s. "Permanent Vacation", Jarmusch's final year university project at NYU film school, shot on 16mm film, was completed shortly after he dropped out, in 1980 and became the director's feature film debut. The film is often credited as the birth of the director's original style and character schemes. The film won the Josef von Sternberg Award at the 1980 Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival.
