 Badiou, A., 2013. Cinema. s.l.:Polity Press.

Alain Badiou contends that cinema is an art form that makes human presence visible. The viewer is
exposed to an element of the world, its exaltation and energy as well as its difficulties and complexity,
through the experience of watching the film. Cinema is an impure art that cannibalizes its times, other
arts, and people – and it is a major art precisely because it is the epicenter of the indistinguishability of
art and non-art. This, according to the author, is what makes cinema the best social and political art, the
best indication of our culture, just as Greek tragedy, the coming-of-age novel, and the operetta were in
their respective eras.

 Uhrig, S. C. N., 2005. Cinema is good for you: the effects of cinema attendance on self-reported
anxiety or depression and 'happiness', Colchester: University of Essex.

More significant aspects of film's impact on society have also been discovered as a result of research. In
a 2005 paper titled "'Cinema is good for you: The Effects of Cinema Attendance on Self-Reported Anxiety
or Depression and 'Happiness,'" written by S C Noah Uhrig said, “The narrative and representational
aspects of film make it a wholly unique form of art. Moreover, the collective experience of film as art
renders it a wholly distinct leisure activity.” He also points that, cinema is unusual in that it is a widely
accessible social art form that is enjoyed by people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. At the same time,
going to the movies allows you to express your particular tastes and satisfy your need for distinction. In
a word, going to the movies can be both a personal expressive experience, as well as enjoyable and
therapeutic.

With the focus of the world's attention in 2012 on disabled people's access to cultural engagement
during the Cultural Olympiad, and with the aging population and resulting growth in disabled people's
spending power, there is increased impetus for arts and cultural organizations and commercial venues
to invest in and commit to the development of an inclusive society, where all people can participate in
arts and cultural activities equally, independently, and with choice and opportunity. But it turns out that
there are still many disabled people who are denied access to arts and culture due to restrictions that
society places in their way.

This article talks about the importance of cultural spaces and the experiences we have in them. The
experience is described as something really unique and special when you know that it wouldn’t exist in
the same way anywhere else. But further I stalked about the audience and who for it, the most
important thing is for them to feel included and still have the cultural experience. “Basically, we learned
what it meant to consider the audience.”

In the midst of a pandemic, many people have realized that their everyday lives have grown increasingly
reliant on and centered on various art forms, the most frequent of which are literature, music, film, and
television. In this regard, the COVID-19 epidemic has fundamentally altered perceptions of 'culture' as
an exclusive and inaccessible area. Along with this, there has been a significant increase in online art
forms participation and publication, including a spike in online library interaction and the popularization
of virtual galleries. Many of these cultural places have become more accessible to a greater segment of
the population as a result of the art market's technical solutions to the COVID-19 dilemma. Such
widespread trends show that art and pandemic are inextricably linked.

 Sherak, T., 2011. The Role of Film in Society [Interview] (17 06 2011)

He describes cinema as an art which can visually stimulate range of emotions, and the collective
experience of these emotions through the cinema provides a safe environment in which to experience
roles and emotions we might not otherwise be free to experience. Cinema attendance can have
independent and robust effects on mental wellbeing.

 NEA, 2015. Why The Arts Matter [Interview] (23 09 2015).

Arts are important because they allow us to see the world in new ways. They help us empathize with
others and understand individuals, locations, historical periods, and topics with which we may be
unfamiliar. They bring us solace in times of sadness and energize us in times of joy. “The arts matter
because with them, we matter.” – Amy Stolls. This is how the staff of NEA answers the question “Why do
the arts matter”. Overall all of them share the same opinion that arts have the ability to influence
people's lives. Through arts-in-healthcare programs, creative aging programs, and creative arts
therapies, they have the capacity to heal our minds and bodies. They have the potential to assist jailed
people in dealing with complex emotions and leading more productive lives after they are released.
They allow everyone to be whoever they want, to escape from the reality a little bit and to see yourself
from a different prospective. They have the ability to shape people's identities beyond the labels they
are given.
