A "Film Theorist" is an individual who studies and analyzes films to understand their meaning, structure, and cultural impact. They explore various aspects of cinema, including narrative techniques, visual styles, and the role of film in society. Film theorists often draw on concepts from philosophy, psychology, and cultural studies to interpret films and their significance.
Film theorists may focus on specific genres, directors, or movements, such as French New Wave or Alfred Hitchcock. Their work contributes to the broader field of film studies, helping audiences and creators appreciate the complexities of storytelling and the art of filmmaking.
