Art-house productions are films that focus on artistic expression rather than commercial success. These movies often explore unique themes, unconventional narratives, and experimental techniques. They are typically produced by independent filmmakers and are shown in smaller, specialized theaters rather than mainstream cinemas. These productions often attract a niche audience that appreciates innovative storytelling and visual artistry. Examples of art-house films include works by directors like Andrei Tarkovsky and Jean-Luc Godard. Art-house productions can also include documentaries and short films that challenge traditional filmmaking norms.
