documentation.

camera lens.

The philosopher Noell Caroll defines film as follows:

1. Film is a detached display or a series thereof.
2. Film belongs to the class of things from which the
production of the impression of movement is
technically imposible.
3. The screening of films do not make them art by
themselves.
4. The platform for screening (TV, movie theater,
computer) or technology-based applications do not
make them art by themselves.
5. Film is a two-dimentional array.
