Features: This book was collectively authored by a group of students from the Film and Television Department of Nanjing Normal University and was listed as part of Jiangsu Province's "Ninety-Five" Social Science Planning Project. The book aims to conduct multi-level academic theoretical discussions on "film culture." On one hand, it examines the essence, characteristics, significance, and value of film culture within the broader context of culture. On the other hand, it delves into the ontology of film to gain an in-depth understanding and analysis of the nature and of film culture, thereby achieving a rational elevation in aesthetic appreciation. The authors place this specific cultural phenomenon within the extensive backgrounds of philosophy, history, literature, sociology, and psychology, employing various methods and perspectives to conduct a comprehensive analysis and evaluation. This approach allows different cultural traits to be stripped away from the ontology of film, leading to a profound and thorough comprehension of film culture. The book elaborates on the survival context of film culture, the spatiotemporal relationships within film culture, the aesthetic creation and dissemination of film, and the cultural of filmmakers. These discussions reflect the authors' unique insights and thoughts built upon the foundations laid by previous scholars, with some arguments being particularly sharp and incisive. This book is suitable for teaching and practical use by faculty and students in film and television programs at universities and colleges in the humanities. Additionally, it serves as a reference and source of inspiration for film and television professionals and researchers in their theoretical reflections on film culture, as well as for enthusiasts in appreciating and collecting film works.
