Un „bumerang estetic” sau valorificarea artelor prin film
An ”aesthetic boomerang” or the valorisation of arts through film

Summary/Abstract: It is known that all kinds of art (fine arts, theatrical art, musical art, literature) contributed to the affirmation of cinematography as art so that later this synthesis – cinematography, through the film about art – to make a significant contribution to its evolution and, in particular, to the process of valorising all the arts. This aesthetic boomerang, too little researched in filmology, is contained in the film about art - a special category in the evolution of the non-fiction film, being conditioned by the use of various techniques and modalities of film expression adapted or borrowed from the arsenal of cinematic language, but also through the creation of new visions. In the film about art, the filmmaker already operates with the repercussions of an interpretation or conception of the author of the work, which is at the basis of the film. In this case, there is a complex process of interpreting the interpretations through a new language – the cinematic one (reanimation of the image, illumination, cadre, angles, etc.). These films give the opportunity to convince us of the artistic and aesthetic functioning of the mechanisms of this process of connection of the arts; the transfer of the original work in audio-visual language into a product with an autonomous aesthetic existence, realizing its multi-functional purpose, which contains important components such as the valorisation of the cultural heritage, the preservation of the images of the works of art, the cultivation of the aesthetic and artistic knowledge of the consumers of the beautiful, and so on.
