Abstract/Summary

Filmmakers' reflection about their own films or about cinema has been a constant in the history of the cinematographic art. Yet, filmmakers have been either sidelined in critical discussions on film or have had little relevance within Film Theory and, therefore, in film analysis - fields that have leaned towards theoretical hooks derived from other areas. The Filmmakers on Film approach intends to brig to the fore a proposal that complements the current trends in Film Theory - a theoretical exercise that relocates the place of the filmmaker in the discussion.
