How Film Just Might NOT Be Art | The Philosophy of Cinema

Have you ever argued with a friend about what makes "art" art? I definitely have!
So, today we'll be unpacking both film's history and its philosophy to prove to the world that movies are more artistic than you might think!

But...

Did you know that it wasn't always so clear that movies are art?
Did you know that we might actually be mistaken to assume that it IS art?
What CAN film achieve in light of these discoveries?

Only after we've thoroughly investigated this question can we begin to think critically about artistic choice within this youthful cinematic medium.

This video is based on the first chapter of Berys Gaut's book "A Philosophy of the Cinematic Art!"
