Formalist film theory is an approach to studying and analyzing films that emphasizes the form and structure of the film over its content or social context. This theory investigates how the aesthetic elements of cinema—such as editing, cinematography, sound, and mise-en-scène—contribute to the overall meaning and experience of the film.
