can be a slippery phrase.<\/p>\n<p>To keep focused, let\u2019s define it as how films are funded, shot and distributed.<\/p>\n<p>But even if we define an independent film as something from outside the major studios, in 2011 that could mean films as diverse an indie \u2018inside the system\u2019 such as The Tree of Life or a documentary like The Interrupters.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, two of the three highest grossing films of 2011 (The King&#8217;s Speech and The Inbetweeners Movie) were genuine independents.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst it is often a major studio who distributes these types of films, they seem very reluctant to take on the risk at the beginning of the project.<\/p>\n<p>When they do, mostly because a big star or producer has clout, it leads us to fascinating studio films like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/2011\/11\/28\/moneyball-review-brad-pitt\/\">Moneyball<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/2010\/10\/11\/the-social-network-review\/\">The Social Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But in the modern movie business they are the exception and not the rule.<\/p>\n<p>The paradox of the term indie is most glaringly apparent at that mecca of indie film, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sundance_Film_Festival\">Sundance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When a genuine low-budget discovery like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/2011\/11\/30\/another-earth-review-mike-chaill-brit-marling\/\">Another Earth<\/a> gets acquired and released by Fox Searchlight, can we really call the dependent arm of a major studio \u2018independent\u2019?<\/p>\n<p>Yet, it still feels like an indie film.<\/p>\n<p>Just because the film now has a chance at reaching a wider audience doesn\u2019t mean the writers and stars have sold their creative souls.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases the film is the same before the deals had signed.<\/p>\n<p>But to reach a fuller definition for 2012 we have to go back to the origins of Sundance.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FY5684Ug-Ds\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>A BRIEF HISTORY OF SUNDANCE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The modern indie movement grew out of the ashes of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Hollywood\">New Hollywood<\/a> of the 1970s, with <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sundance_Film_Festival#Utah.2FUS_Film_Festival\">the birth of the Sundance film festival<\/a> coinciding with the financial disaster of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heaven's_Gate_(film)\">Heaven&#8217;s Gate<\/a> (1980).<\/p>\n<p>That was the end of an era but also the slow beginnings of a new one.<\/p>\n<p>Although there were indie directors during the 1980s like Jim Jarmusch, The Coen Brothers, Sam Raimi that became established during that decade, it wasn&#8217;t until 1989 that the notion of what we might inelegantly call the &#8216;modern indie&#8217; movie developed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/2008\/06\/10\/interview-peter-biskind-on-miramax\/\">Peter Biskind<\/a> attempted a definition in the preface to his book &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/0747565716?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=filmdetail-21&#038;linkCode=xm2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creativeASIN=0747565716\">Down and Dirty Pictures<\/a>&#8216;

It evokes the image of struggling young filmmakers maxing out their credit cards to pay their actors and crews, who work long hours for little or no compensation because they believe in what they&#8217;re doing.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is a pretty good attempt to define the kind of films he was writing about, even if &#8211; as he discovered &#8211; the image didn&#8217;t always match the reality.<\/p>\n<p>The term independent can reflect genuine DIY productions like Robert Rodriguez&#8217;s El Maricahi (made for $7000), Kevin Smith&#8217;s Clerks (made for $7000), Ed Burns&#8217; The Brothers McMullen (made for $23,800) or Christopher Nolan&#8217;s Following (made for $6000).<\/p>\n<p>All of those directors are examples of industry outsiders who managed to carve out a career via the independent route.<\/p>\n<p>There are more expensive independent projects which have raised more money and come with known actors and agents attached, but they are still looking for the buzz and artistic kudos that the indie world provides.<\/p>\n<p>Biskind uses the parallel growth of Miramax and Sundance from the late 1970s to the early 2000s to form a sequel of sorts to his book on the New Hollywood, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/0747544212\/203-5119070-2441557?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=filmdetail-21&#038;linkCode=xm2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creativeASIN=0747544212\">Easy Riders Raging Bulls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This means it leaves out a few notable gaps, but nonetheless provides a solid framework to looking at the indie movement over the last 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>A watershed moment was Steve Soderbergh&#8217;s Sex, Lies and Videotape premiering at Sundance in 1989, then winning at Cannes later that May.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gg1MHqqhC4c\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here was an intelligent film in which characters sit around, talking a lot into video cameras but famously don&#8217;t engage in that much sex.<\/p>\n<p>But Miramax &#8211; who acquired it &#8211; cleverly sold it to multiplexes on the back of a suggestive poster, thus proving that marketing was just as important in this newer indie era.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways it was to indie film what Jaws had been to the major studio &#8211; a trailblazer that would prove influential in all sorts of good and bad ways. <\/p>\n<p>Fast forward three years to another watershed Sundance in 1992 and the spectacular arrival of Quentin Tarantino and Reservoir Dogs.<\/p>\n<p>Tarantino&#8217;s first film was funded by Live Entertainment, although he later to go on to have a very productive relationship with Miramax and the Weinsteins.<\/p>\n<p>People forget just how appalled some early audiences were by the violence, but it was a canny fusion of Asian and French crime movies sprinkled with his own devilish humour.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NRd2gti9rHE\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t the immediate hit it could have been, but its slow-burn cult success was testament to its raw power and style, laying the ground work for Pulp Fiction in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>Although his second feature was the much bigger hit, Reservoir Dogs captured for me the indie ethos of the time.<\/p>\n<p>This was a heist movie in which we never see the heist and the audience is enjoying the dialogue so much they forget they are watching characters talking in a room together.<\/p>\n<p>Like Soderbergh, Tarantino cleverly wrote around its budgetary limitations &#8211; people who saw it didn&#8217;t talk about it being low budget because there plenty of clever distractions.<\/p>\n<p>In 1994 Kevin Smith arrived with perhaps the ultimate DIY film &#8211; an ultra-low budget comedy he shot in the convenience store where he actually worked.<\/p>\n<p>The triumvirate of Soderbergh, Tarantino and Smith probably inspired a generation of filmmakers to give Sundance and indie film a shot.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously this almost certainly inspired a legion of imitators who submitted bad films to Sundance, but it still proved that it was possible.<\/p>\n<p>Is that spirit still alive today?<\/p>\n<p>To a degree it is.<\/p>\n<p>Part of that is down to Redford\u2019s own ethos, forged when he had just become a star and was still struggling trying to get Downhill Racer (1969) made.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cleuWHX4kzw\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In 1990 he said to Premiere magazine:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;I knew what it was like to distribute a film that you produced. In 1969, I carried Downhill Racer under my arm, fighting the battles that most people face. [I came to understand the] filmmaker who spends two years making his film, and then another two years distributing it, only to find out he can\u2019t make any money on it, and four years of his life are gone. I thought, <em>that\u2019s<\/em> who needs our help.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After the heady days of the late 1990s when people were overpaying for films like Happy, Texas and post-Lehmann Brothers, it seems Sundance has come full circle back to its original ethos.<\/p>\n<p>It is a spirit that fuels recent Sundance breakouts like Beasts of the Southern Wild, Martha Marcy May Marlene and Winter&#8217;s Bone.<\/p>\n<p>Although Miramax is now just a legacy brand, a new generation of distributors like Roadside, IFC along with established ones such as Focus Features, Sony Pictures Classics and Fox Searchlight are hungry for new voices.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>THE RISE OF DIGITAL<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As filmmakers utilise the emergence of digital cameras, which began in the late 1990s and gradually gathered pace over the coming decade.<\/p>\n<p>The first digital film I saw projected inside a cinema was Gary Winick&#8217;s Tadpole in early 2003 in London.<\/p>\n<p>Or rather it was digitally captured on a Sony DSR-PD150 and then projected on 35mm prints, as there was no widespread digital projection at the time.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JQHqEdkYFoI\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"410\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It looked grainy and although it had been acquired by Miramax a year earlier, the image quality was far from perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Although I&#8217;d heard digital cameras were going to make shooting features more affordable to the indie filmmaker, it was very unusual at the time to see a UK release (even an art-house one) shot on digital.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward several years to the same building and in September 2011 I was watching Another Earth, which was one of the hot titles out of Sundance earlier that year.<\/p>\n<p>Shot on a Sony EX3 camera and projected digitally, it showed how far the cameras had come.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N8hEwMMDtFY\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"410\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Obviously the fundamentals (script, direction and editing) need to be there, but in just a few years it showed how rapidly technology had lowered the barrier to entry.<\/p>\n<p>Almost twenty years previously Tarantino has shot Reservoir Dogs on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/35_mm_film\">35mm<\/a>, nearly ten years passed before a digital film could find its way out of Sundance and into regular cinemas in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Here was Another Earth looking almost identical to any other film at the multiplex.<\/p>\n<p>Experienced cinematographers could still tell the difference, but a general audience couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly not in the same way they would&#8217;ve noticed the grainy Tadpole back in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Also that month Drive hit UK cinemas (interestingly a kind of indie movie in itself after a major studio put it into turnaround).<\/p>\n<p>It is probably a compliment to DP <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arri.de\/camera\/digital_cameras\/news.html?article=719&#038;cHash=097d245472\">Newton Thomas Sigel<\/a> and the engineers at ARRI that the high-end Alexa camera used to shoot it wasn&#8217;t really talked about outside cinematography circles.<\/p>\n<p>Audiences just accepted the images as though they were film.<\/p>\n<p>Many of them probably didn&#8217;t know that movie was digitally shot and projected, which is perhaps the ultimate compliment.<\/p>\n<p>The digital dream (or nightmare depending on your view) had become the new reality.<\/p>\n<p>Although the majority of movies are still shot on 35mm, when a cinematographer like <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Janusz_Kami%C5%84ski\">Janusz Kaminski<\/a> (a die-hard proponent of photographic film) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/new\/War-Horse-Cinematographer-Janusz-Kaminski-Working-With-Spielberg-Death-Film-28506.html\">admits Drive looked very good and that celluloid is on the way out<\/a>, it\u2019s worth listening.<\/p>\n<p>Even a veteran like the late <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sidney_Lumet\">Sidney Lumet<\/a> was saying digital was <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/z1hTX2\">superior to film in 1999<\/a> and later expanded on this topic at the New York Film Festival in 2007:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VrIs2BXwwq0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"410\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve written previously about the transition <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/2011\/11\/15\/from-celluloid-to-digital\/\">from celluloid to digital<\/a> and audiences, studios and distributors are right in the thick of that now.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK and US, by the end of 2013 celluloid projection will essentially be over.<\/p>\n<p>The production of film cameras by Panavision, Arri and Aaton (traditionally the big three) stopped last year.<\/p>\n<p>We are living though a digital film revolution that has already dramatically lowered the barriers to entry.<\/p>\n<p>But whilst there are numerous positives, should critics and audiences be concerned about degradation of the moving image?<\/p>\n<p>In the action genre haven&#8217;t we already seen digital tools influence the rise of chaos cinema and lead to visual shortcuts that wouldn&#8217;t happen under film?<\/p>\n<p>Obviously digital or celluloid is just a tool for realising a filmmakers vision but maybe there are long term consequences for the seismic shift cinema is currently undergoing.<\/p>\n<p>Preservation is just one pressing issue for &#8216;digitally native&#8217; films (e.g. Fincher&#8217;s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) and perhaps the surfeit of viewing choices in the home will also have an effect.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/95PBs4Vr0Gk\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not forget, earlier this year all the major studios (with the exception of Paramount) were essentially sanctioning a VOD experiment which could have taken audiences further down the road killing the theatrical experience.<\/p>\n<p>Although it ultimately failed it could be a warning of what was to come.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, if there is no window for mainstream releases, where does this leave the indie world?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s imagine like Margin Call came out in the mid-1990s.<\/p>\n<p>Relatively low budget, filled with fine acting talent and a promising director.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m pretty sure it would have been showcased and snapped up at Sundance by Miramax or another specialty arm of the major studios.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IjZ-ke1kJrA\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>However, we now live in a different world (ironically, caused in part by the very people Margin Call is about).<\/p>\n<p>Films like this &#8211; which simply can&#8217;t afford the enormous P+A cost of the major studios &#8211; have been forced to innovate.<\/p>\n<p>VOD (Video on Demand) was presumably part of the plan from the beginning &#8211; that is in places where it can&#8217;t be shown theatrically, it is made available<\/p>\n<p>So does this mean it is a friend for indies as much as it is a foe for studio releases?<\/p>\n<p>I asked <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cassian_Elwes\">Cassian Elwes<\/a> (one of those closely involved in the film) about the
