An art film is
typically a serious, independent film aimed at a niche market rather than a
mass market audience. An art film is "intended to be a serious artistic
work, often experimental and not designed for mass appeal"; they are "made
primarily for aesthetic reasons rather than commercial profit", and they
contain "unconventional or highly symbolic content".
Film critics and film
studies scholars typically define an art film as possessing "formal
qualities that mark them as different from mainstream Hollywood films",
which can include, among other elements, a sense of social realism; an emphasis
on the authorial expressiveness of the director; and a focus on the thoughts,
dreams, or motivations of characters, as opposed to the unfolding of a clear,
goal-driven story. Film scholar David Bordwell describes art cinema as "a
film genre, with its own distinct conventions". (Source:wiki)
