Summary/Abstract: Film is one of the most influential arts of our time. This form of entertainment is preferred by individuals, and in recent times it has become a privileged medium for reflection on the human condition. Film philosophy, as a branch of philosophy, attempts to answer the fundamental question: what is film and what kind of experience does it offer? However, with the recognition of film as a major art, the ethical dimension also appears: how should we relate to the moral content of films, their impact on viewers, and the responsibilities of creators? Ethics in film philosophy is not only about the representation of moral acts or values on screen, but also how these representations affect the audience's perception and even the structure of society. Film can stimulate empathy, problematize moral conflicts or, conversely, normalize questionable behaviors. In other words, it becomes a fertile medium for philosophical problematization.
