Summary/Abstract: With Heidegger fi lm phenomenology becomes able to elucidate understanding in so far as itis noematic. In the art of fi lm it is during montage that the single frame of meaning is created.Film editing has different interpretations in theories of cinema, but fi lmmakers make useof it so that it lets the language of fi lm become that of art. It is not a language with abstractrules regulating understanding, on the conrary, it is showing itself that happens «between»the canvas of the screen and the spectator in which is created this work of art. The work ofart builds itself as a reference whole of connotative indexes, while the fi lm tries to get awayit explicitly before the spectator’s eyes. Auteur cinema in its turn has an artifi cial languagewhich is built so as to determine or modify the understanding of a fi lm. Such a fi lm hasa noematic language generating senses where particular features of the language of art arearticulated on behalf of the genuine purpose of the fi lm.
