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.
