Summary/Abstract: The starting point of this paper is the fact that each field seen on the screen as present is counterbalanced with its echo absent field, outside of the boundaries of the frame that the spectator can only sew, fill in or stitch (film suture) to the existing one, which is called off-screen space or imaginary field of the film picture. Due to this fact the action taking place beyond the boundaries of the silver screen, the one that is not seen, can be a lot more exciting than the visible one. One of the basic presumptions of this paper is that the imaginary field of the film picture, i.e. the offscreen space is always present, even without its visual, sound or narrative indication, because of its receptive and aesthetic models of operation. These models condition viewers to constantly recapitulate the events they have seen and heard during film thus creating a mosaic of information and looking for their narrative, aesthetic of psychological connections. This process is influenced by the look of film spectator which starts complex processes of perception and aperception which are an integral part of the reception process, which then initiates the process of reading and interpreting film, but also the pocess of aesthetical knowledge and cultural heritage. That is way this paper analyzes possible models of construction of the film image on the levels of perception, aperception and reception
