Last week, I put down some ideas about the ways in which cinema (and all art, I should add) communicates, and some of the things it tries to communicate. This is of course a topic that needs far more discussion than a single journal entry; it's also one of the main rivers of exploration that runs beneath this entire writing project, and as such can have no real end point. I would certainly like to understand "what cinema is," in some larger sense, but this seems to me like a continuing process of evaluation and re-evaluation rather than a set of questions that can be set out and then solved.
