All a film is

Summary/Abstract: In the paper the crucial speculative, epistemological and ontological, determinants of film work and cinema are presented, those that could orient empirical research. (1) Film work is a delimited material object in the human environment, it can be manipulated, and people can form different life relationships to it. (2) Film work is an artifact technologically produced, entailing differential development of the productionally needed technique. (3) Film work is produced in order to stimulate a mental, experiential reaction, it is the main purpose of the artifact. (4) Technological control over the details of production process enables controlled modeling of possible experiences afforded by the film artifact; a film is epistemological modeling artifact. The film process is also a communicational process; epistemological modeling implies the two types of communicational sharing: the makers of the artifact are addressing by film work potential or actual spectators, and, further, spectators share experiences offered by film work among themselves. (5) All previously mentioned characteristics of film work and film process are social-cultural act as well. The film relies on the surrounding cultural resources, and is a cultural recourse in its own right. (6) Being a technological, communicational and cultural phenomenon, by implication social, film work and film process are also socially organized, institutionally sustained.
