Film Term of the Week: Director’s Cut

Director’s Cut

1. A director’s cut is a specially edited version of a film, and less often TV series, music video, commercials, comic book or video games, that is supposed to represent the director’s own approved edit. ‘Cut’ explicitly refers to the process of film editing: the director’s cut is preceded by the rough editor’s cut and followed by the final cut meant for the public film release.

Director’s cuts of film are not generally released to the public: with most film studios the director does not have a final cut privilege.
