Abstract

In this article I schematically present the guidelines of a philosophy of cinema in general and develop a particular philosophical perspective which emphasizes the potential of cinema for thinking. I approach the issue of cinema via the by now classic distinction between the cinematographic phenomenon and the filmic fact, in order to develop subsequently the answers to the questions about the what, the how and the with what of the latter. In this way I present a brief account of the institutional framework and the practices involved in cinema as a phenomenon determined by technology, while I develop the main subjects linked with thinking in cinema according to its own features as media and art.
