A PHILOSOPHY OF CINEMATIC ART
A Philosophy of Cinematic Art
is a systematic study of cinema as an art
form, showing how the medium conditions fundamental features of
cinematic artworks. It discusses the status of cinema as an art form,
whether there is a language of
film,
realism in cinema, cinematic
authorship, intentionalist and constructivist theories of interpretation,
cinematic narration, the role of emotions in responses to
films,
the
possibility of identification with characters, and the nature of the
cinematic medium. Groundbreaking in its coverage of a wide range
of contemporary cinematic media, it analyses not only traditional
photographic
films,
but also digital cinema, and a variety of interactive
cinematic works, including videogames. Written in a clear and acces
sible style, the book examines the work of leading
film
theorists and
philosophers of
film,
and develops a powerful framework with which
to think about cinema as an art.
