Independent Film Movement

The Independent Film Movement refers to a style of filmmaking characterized by the production of movies outside the major studio system. These films are often created with smaller budgets, more creative freedom, and personal or niche stories that may not appeal to mainstream audiences. Indie films emphasize artistic expression, innovation, and authenticity. The movement gained prominence in the late 20th century, with filmmakers striving to tell unique stories without commercial pressures, often showcasing diverse perspectives. It has significantly influenced modern cinema, highlighting creativity over profit and supporting the emergence of new talent.
