Art film

An art film is a type of movie that prioritizes artistic expression and explores complex themes, often emphasizing visual style, interpretation, and emotional depth over mainstream entertainment such as action or commercial appeal. These films may have unconventional narratives, slow pacing, and experimental techniques, encouraging viewers to think deeply and interpret meaning beyond surface storylines. They are often created by independent or visionary filmmakers seeking to explore personal or philosophical ideas, making them more about artistic exploration than mass-market appeal.
