Abstract
Distractive Arts
In his influential essay of 1936 "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction", Walter Benjamin argues for the consideration of film as a serious art form. Of particular interest is his discussion in section XV. Here he initiates, but does not elaborate extensively, an inquiry into the nature of the relationship between the work of art and those who experience it.
