Résumé 0

In general terms it is possible to describe this research as a materialistic ap-proach to cinema. Our grasp of film is focused on the perspective of films as a product of work, as a product of organized, distributed and selected manners of labor. Most of the films exist because they respect a set of impli-cit processes, rules of production and distribution that are finally embodied in the images according to the so-called “cinematic language”. In addition, theory and history of cinema have usually been blind to that. In this problematic con-text, Michel Foucault’s idea of a Dispositif as a mixture of discourses, practi-ces, institutions, etc., is useful to uncover the cinematic system of production and self-legitimation. The cinematic Dispositf is finally expressed but si-multaneously hidden on the screen. In other words, the cinematic Disposi-tif controls the form of films and also their social life as commodities but it is usually hidden behind its artistic performance.
