Indie films like “Anora,” “The Brutalist” and “Conclave” will be glamorously celebrated at this year’s Oscars. And it couldn’t come at a better time. Bing Chen writes for @time: “With recent political and economic pressures, powerful decision makers have retreated to ‘safety’ and greenlight proven franchises. But often, these decisions result in the kind of formulaic narratives fans bemoan — even among the most dedicated franchise fans. Indie film, by contrast, has always been the breeding ground for creative expression and societal progression … stories that don’t just entertain but illuminate diverse voices and untold truths, challenging and expanding our understanding of the world.”
