What about Film? Initiating thoughts ::

Film is a comparatively new medium which unifies different arts in a very expressive way. There are e.g. aspects of music to intensify every kind of picture – which could, for itself, an expression of fluent painting, sculpture and more as an extended exhibition of performing arts. And there is also any kind of text presented e.g. in monologues, dialogues or narrative parts. So all in all, film enables a ingenious combination of music, picture, “performance” & literature. So the outstanding opportunities of an interpretation with reference to other media, first of all literature – every film needs a written script – are becoming obvious.
