What makes a film an art film?

 Existentialist film in that the human experience in the film is that of the human experience of the viewer watching the film. So. In honor of Cannes film festival I made this art film. So there are no people in it, well, you see a few not many. So the frame within the frame technique has evoked quite a few emotions, comments, complaints ,problems and provocation so I guess my job is done. How can a movie with no people in it have emotion and provocation? These viewers have proved my point. You say there's no people in the film ,while you the viewer are the people in the film. I know your complaints, comments, provocation, anger ,insults and everything else you felt about the frame within the frame is what gives this film emotion without people in it. My little art film experiment has been successful as viewers have put their own emotions into it. So where are all the people? The Sebastian riverfront. The docks are typically bustling with commercial fishermen. You caught a glimpse of one of the many folks unloading luggage and getting ready to settle into a fabulous time on vacation at this resort. A famous local artist sells paintings in the parking lot as restaurant patrons , resort guests, local folks walking by, some potential buyers, browse. The person behind the camera lens takes a stroll here quite often. The trip over the state park's Inlet bridge reveals that the tourists and locals too are at the inlet beach as well as the ocean beach . Who's driving the truck while the photographer makes her captures of the beaches and through the wildlife preserve and back to Sebastian riverfront again ?


What makes a film an art film? a movie made primarily for aesthetic reasons rather than commercial profit, often of an experimental nature or having an unconventional or highly symbolic content, aimed typically at a limited audience.
