Abstract

In this article the art of cinema is viewed from a philosophical point of view, namely from the point of view of the visualization of meanings. It is noted that modern culture is characterized by «philosophy in non-philosophical forms». Unlike literature, painting, theater and music, cinema is the writing of moving images. Here philosophical ideas, meanings and feelings take on a multifaceted visual form. In postmodern culture, mass culture becomes one of the main subjects of philosophical discourse (Jameson, Zizek).
The article examines various directions of science fiction cinema: space fiction, socio-historical dystopia and virtual futurism. It is concluded that different types of cinema (art house, mainstream) represent different philosophical discourses - rationalistic, psychoanalytic, existential, Nietzschean, feminist, postmodern.
It is emphasized that contemporary cinema not only works with classical archetypes, but also creates visual mythology. It is concluded that the art of cinema, influencing our feelings, constructs a visual-sensory picture of the world. A worldview emerges on an emotional level, in which philosophical ideas are combined with philosophical feelings. The verbal-rational form of philosophy is transformed into a figurative-sensual one.
