here's some relevent punk /renegade film movements:

"No Wave Cinema was a nearly nine year boom (1976-1985) in underground filmmaking on the Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City. Its name, much like its cousin No Wave music, was a stripped down style of guerilla/punk filmmaking that emphasized mood and texture above everything else. This brief movement, also known as New Cinema (after a short-lived screening room on St. Marks 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 feature filmmaking in New York (Jim Jarmusch, Tom DiCillo, Steve Buscemi and Vincent Gallo), as well as the new movement of Remodernist film.

The filmmakers mainly associated with the movement included Amos Poe, Eric Mitchell, Beth B and Scott B, Vivienne Dick, John Lurie, Becky Johnston, and James Nares."

"Remodernist film developed in the United States and England in the late 1990's and early 21st century and is related to the British art movement Stuckism and its manifesto, Remodernism.

Remodernist film calls for a return to emotional and spiritual meaning in cinema, as well as an emphasis on narrative structure and subjectivity. Elements of French New Wave, No Wave Cinema, expressionist and transcendental filmmaking helped lead to this new film movement. They champion the works of Yasujiro Ozu, Robert Bresson, F.W. Murnau, Jean-Luc Godard, Wong Kar-wai, David Lynch, Amos Poe and Nicholas Ray among others.

The first Remodernist films and filmmakers included Youngblood (1995) by Harris Smith, Shooting at the Moon (1998-2003) by Jesse Richards and Nicholas Watson, and Medway Bus Ride (1999) by Wolf Howard ."

"The Cinema of Transgression is a term coined by Nick Zedd in 1985 to describe, a New York City based underground film movement, consisting of a loose-knit group of like-minded artists using shock value and humor in their work. Key players in this movement were Nick Zedd, Cassandra Stark, Beth B, Tommy Turner, Richard Kern and Lydia Lunch, who in the late 1970s and mid 1980s began to make very low budget films using cheap 8 mm cameras.

An important essay outlining Zedd's philosophy on the Cinema of Transgression is the Cinema of Transgression Manifesto, published pseudonymously in the Underground Film Bulletin (1984-90).

Perhaps the most famous transgressive artist, Richard Kern began making films in New York with actors Nick Zedd and Lung Leg. Some of them were videos for artists like the Butthole Surfers and Sonic Youth.

Precursors
The Cinema of Transgression shares a legacy with underground film-makers Andy Warhol, John Waters and Kenneth Anger and is arguably rooted in the sounds and time of musicians like Richard Hell, Foetus and poet-singer Lydia Lunch.

Jack Sargeant's Deathtripping: The Cinema of Transgression, is a comprehensive account of this movement."
