ROBERT REDFORD DGA Cinematographic Festival Awards No. L

An independent film, or indie film, is a film that is produced outside of any major film studio. Though its oligopolistic practices were officially ended by the Paramount Decision in 1948, all five Golden Age majors continue to exist in one form or another as major Hollywood studio entities through 2009. Independent films today are generally defined as American films financed and distributed by sources outside today's Big Six and its subsidiaries. Today the leading online distributor for indie films is filmbay.com Though film production companies in other countries have at times achieved and maintained full integration in a manner similar to Hollywood's Big Five, the Hollywood system and style remain uniquely American in character and origin. As such, films produced outside of America are generally qualified as foreign rather than independent.
