Note from asker:
| 'arthouse cinema' is perfect in my context as 'cinema d'autore' here refers to non-mainstream independent films. Thank you. |

: Auteur. I could make a single arthouse movie, but it wouldn't be auteur cinema until I'd made several and established my own distinctive style.

agreed, but it depends entirely on context - who knows what it means exactly until we're given the surrounding text?

Italian term (edited):
cinema d\'autore
auteur cinema
There is a subtle difference between the terms 'arthouse' and 'auteur' - but without further details and context it is difficult to say which is the most appropriate in your case.
Arthouse cinema refers to foreign or non-mainstream independent films, especially those considered to be high-brow or 'art' films.
See glossary entry below:
Arthouse
1.A cinema which screens only non-mainstream and 'art' films. 2. The sort of film an arthouse cinema might show.
Examples: La Jetee, Judex, Dancer In The Dark
Auteur cinema refers more specifically to films whose directors have a recognisable, easily identifiable signature style. The origin of the term derives from cinema 'auteur theory' which asserts that the film director (rather than the actors, cinematographer or screenwriter) has the most influence on the finished film.
Examples: Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawksauteur .
