An independent film, or indie film, is a film that is produced mostly outside of a major film studio. In addition to being produced by independent production companies, independent films are often produced and/or distributed by subsidiaries of major studios. Independent films are sometimes distinguishable by their content and style and the way in which the filmmakers' personal artistic vision is realized.
In my opinion, some festivals promote independent filmmaking, like Berlin International Film Festival, Hong Kong International Film Festival, London Film Festival, Montréal World Film Festival and etc. For example, the Montréal festival's programmers search the international film world for works, paying particular attention to Latin American and Eastern European cinema. Although established Western European directors such as Wim Wenders, Vittorio and Paolo Taviani, and Jean-Luc Godard have frequently had their films in competition, the Grand Prix has often been awarded to films by lesser-known and independent filmmakers, such as Tiempo de revancha (Time for Revenge, 1982), by Argentinean director Adolfo Aristarain; El Norte (1983), by American director Gregory Nava; and Trahir (Betrayal, 1993), by Romanian director Radu Mihaileanu.
