Art-house cinema is constantly evolving. While mainstream cineplexes churn out the latest round of comic-book adaptations and formulaic romantic comedies, audiences hungry for substance visit movie houses with significantly less neon on the outside but squint-inducingly bright talents showcased on the inside. Unabashed fans of indie cinema, we welcome you to our annual art-house feature, in which we look back at the trends and stars from the past year and examine the forces shaping indie cinema's future (we keep hearing something about a recession). Fix a bag of microwave popcorn and settle into your most comfortable chair. The feature is about to begin in five, four, three, peace sign, pointed finger—now:
