What makes a film independent?
Specialist writing on film
What you need to know

The example of My Big Fat Greek Wedding: independent in its funding but mainstream in its style.
How independent films are funded, made and distributed: independent producers, festivals such as Sundance, and specialist distributors.
Applying the ideas to each of the five films: how far each is independent in its genre, narrative, look and point of view.
