According to Hayward, the term – art cinema, ‘refers predominantly to a certain type of European cinema that is experimental in technique and narrative’ (2013: 23). Hayward also outlines art cinema as ‘Second Cinema (European art cinema and the cinema of the auteurs)’ (Hayward 2013: 383), which incorporates various issues that were faced by post-war European countries.
