Definition

  • The meaning of the term independent film or independent cinema has evolved since the birth of film and will continue to do so as the industry changes and adapts to new technologies and production procedures. In regard to gender, Sofia Coppola is one of the female directors who most commonly comes to mind, as her film Lost in Translation (2003) was nominated for three Academy Awards in 2004.
