The more philosophy I read the more sense it makes to claim cinema is not art. It's technology. Literature possesses the copula that connects one representation to another. The sequentiality of film lacks this. The director's subjectivity cannot attach conditions to an editing cut. It is the heart of the viewing public that establishes continuity between shots.

Film is technology precisely because of its failure to operate as a self-contained and self-referential medium. In the sense that it opens a space of contact for humanity to think of its relationship to technology and nature as a recompense of sorts for its inability to secure a hermeneutic contract with the viewer. All cinematic production is inherently impersonal.
