Cinema: image and interpretation

This paper discusses images of the cinema and the possibility of their interpretation as they appear related with the illusion of photography which re-present things and persons. Cinema images are an intricate articulation of times and spaces what makes memory appears unlike a mere succession of events. On the contrary, memory that images show us deals with the past in the flow of the present moments, which makes that past a dynamic reality that assumes renewed significations.

Cinema; time; space; memory; past; present; signification
