Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Film Science, grade: 1,3, University of Potsdam, course: Film + Philosophy = Filmosophy, language: English, abstract: Because the times in film production change, a change in reception is also necessary. In Frampton's theory, film is no longer a photographic reproduction of a past performance. This is not simply be-cause nowadays there are countless assumed realistic film images which were never shot as they are presented later. Frampton concedes that film uses material of the real world but finally - and hence his theory is one of reception - this material becomes its own world with its own processes and even its own thoughts. To draw a consistent picture of his theory he developed a kind of unique language to speak about film.
