Philosophy of film

Philosophy of film is the study of how film can be used to explore questions, ideas and stories that illuminate the world around us. It is a way of exploring life, relationships, meaning and purpose through questions raised by the film. When we watch a film, we often see ideas or themes that are fundamental to our understanding of life and the world. We might ask questions such as what is the purpose of life, why do some people seem to have everything, or why does life have to end? Philosophy of film is a way for us to explore these questions by examining the themes and stories presented in films.
