Abstract

In this thesis I discuss the cinematic experience on the basis of visual examples and theoretical discourse. The work is an attempt to outline this notion and to grasp some of its "definite" manifestations. Beyond other aspects, I will focus on cinematic experience as the experience of simultaneity of watching and thinking. In addition, this thesis is a written and visual record of my own experiences and interests in relation to the topic.
