French term or phrase: du secteur privé
Is this used in Canadian cinema like we say "independent", or should I say "private"?

"Il est suivi de La Vie rêvée, en 1972, qui est le premier long métrage du secteur privé mis en scène par une femme, Mireille Dansereau. "

  -> Even if "private sector" might not be mentioned explicitly, it's quite easy to infer what I wrote, based on the overall context of the piece, as well as the original French.

agree  Jennifer White: Seems more likely. Private sector doesn't work here / Your ref. is absolutely right - mentions independent Quebec cinema and Mireille D.

neutral  writeaway: your ref only refers to "independent Quebec cinema" so I don't see how you can be so confident.

agree  Corbett AM: Independent is used all the time in cinema, where it's produced outside the mainstream. 'Private sector' is best used for other businesses and organisations (private vs. public sector for e.g.) but not the film business/world.

disagree  Eliza Hall: Independent cinema = movies made outside the major studio system. In some countries the government may provide some funding, but both major-studio and independent movies are typically produced in the private sector.
