Question

In response to regimes of political oppression in the Third World, a film movement called __________________ rejected both commercial and art cinema in order to engage directly with the people.

Answer 1

The answer is Italian Neo-Realism.

Step-by-step explanation:

This movement arose after the end of World War II. These films focused on themes such as poverty and crime, and attempted a naturalistic portrayal of the low-life conditions of the post-war Italy.

This movement eventually inspired other alternative filmmaking styles, such as the french nouvelle-vague (New Wave), and even some contemporary filmmakers like Martin Scorsese have quoted Italian Neo-Realism as a source of inspiration.
