![]() ![]() ![]() This article distinguishes art cinema from other non-mainstream modes of filmmaking such as avant-garde cinema and independent cinema, which are discussed in other OBO articles, including Robin Blaetz’s Avant-Garde and Experimental Film, David Sterritt’s American Independent Cinema and Yannis Tzioumakis’s American Independent Cinema, Producers. However, it was not until after the Second World War that a particular mode of filmmaking came to be known as “art cinema.” The term is now used to identify a subset of commercial films that typically rely on both private and state funding, film festival exposure, exhibition in art house theaters, and auteurist marketing strategies. The artistic sophistication of interwar movements such as German Expressionism and French surrealism led to the establishment of film journals, clubs, and archives that helped to legitimate cinema as an art form. ![]()
