Abstract

The article raises an issue about ontological status of cinema and balance between screen image and real life. Some theorists consider that cinema meets ontological needs for true life and is able to create images of reality. The scene of Winter palace storming from Eisenstein’s movie named «October» has long been assumed to be documentary.  A.Bazin, Krakauer, Bertolucci considered that cinema created confidence in reality. Others think that cinema is not a referential form of art and its aim is to create an illusion, myths and dreams (A. Moles, P.Greenaway, G. Deleuze and others).

The authors of the article by an example of «proletarian» cinema of Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Dovzhenko, Dziga Vertov are researching the fields of cinema ontology: images of time, images of movement, static images. There is no pure reality; it is set up, it transforms into object-model, with the help of cinema as well.

Keywords: cinema ontology, cinema object-model, «proletarian» cinema.
