Formalism in Film

This article in the Wikipedia encyclopedia discusses formalist film theory, which is "a theory of film study that is focused on the formal, or technical, elements of a film: i.e., the lighting, scoring, sound and set design, use of colour, shot composition, and editing. It is a major theory of film study today." This page talks about formalism in general, formalism in an ideological sense, and formalism in auteur theory, and also discussing the difference between ideological formalism and auteur theory.
