When I was a film student, one of the ways I studied was to volunteer at film festivals. That way, I got to see all the movies for free! Now, I encourage my students to do the same.
Independent films can be an excellent source of inspiration. I also find that independent short films teach students about story, character, and the craft of filmmaking in ways books and lectures never can.
PBS, ITVS and their show Independent Lens have put several of this year's best shorts online for viewing - and voting starting December 10. Maybe time for a contrast and compare with the Insomnia winners...
