3. Film History Book: Consider gifting her a comprehensive book on film history, such as "The Story of Film" by Mark Cousins or "Film: A Critical Introduction" by Maria Pramaggiore and Tom Wallis. These books provide a deep exploration of cinema's evolution, influential filmmakers, and critical theories, allowing her to broaden her understanding and knowledge of the art form.

5. Movie Poster or Artwork: Consider getting her a beautifully framed poster of her favorite film or a piece of movie-inspired artwork. This will not only decorate her room but also signify her passion for cinema.

6. Film Critique Workshop: Look for local workshops or online courses that focus on film critique. Enroll her in a class where she can enhance her skills, learn from experienced professionals, and network with fellow film enthusiasts.

7. Personalized Film Journal: Custom-made film journals where she can jot down her thoughts, film reviews, and critique on her favorite movies can be a meaningful gift. You can even personalize it with her name or a special message to make it more unique.

8. Film-inspired Merchandise: Explore film-themed merchandise like t-shirts, mugs, or phone cases featuring her favorite movies or iconic film quotes. These items will not only showcase her love for movies but also serve as conversation starters.
