Cinema as a Proposition for Dialogue. A Historical Sketch.
As film has been progressing not only did it absorb everything within its reach but also, relatively soon, it became a focal point for discussions concerning politics, culture, art, entertainment, and business. With time, it entered a dialogue with new media and the entire sphere of new technology which marched into film production and began to control its distribution, availability, advertisement and storage. The author of the article analyzes the communicative potential dwelling in the subsequent phases of cinema’s evolution. The departure point is constituted by the interpretation of the relations between film and other arts from the dialogical perspective. Mutual exchanges are merely one of the main aspects of this phenomenon; of major significance remain analogies and parallel development, all equally significant for every field of art. By extending the field of study from the correspondence between arts to correspondence between cultures one can observe various forms of coexistence between elements that originate in different cultures. They may function together in harmony or collide, overlap or intersect as well as create connections that can be either immediately obvious or require exegesis and interpretation. Today, cinematic dialogues undergo transformations as they exist in an ever-changing social and communicative space. They require new discourses as they are shaped and developed in an interdisciplinary environment.
