Art films are a type of movie that is very different from the popular Hollywood blockbuster movies. Art films have many other names. Some people call them art movies, independent films, indie films, arthouse films, auteur films ("auteur" is a French word which means "author") or experimental films.

Can I sell paintings of movie scenes? No, that is the clear and direct answer. Under copyright law, the owner of the copyright to an audiovisual work is the sole individual authorized to exhibit EACH of the individual pictures that ect answer is no.

The copyright law is clear: even if a painting (or drawing or photograph) has been sold to a collector or a museum, in general, they only have property rights, but not copyright. The artist or his/her heirs retain control of the original image for 70 years after the artist's death.
