Within academic institutions, film history is situated within the area of art history. However, this relationship has not brought with it a profound reflection of the problem of art in film. Often, artistic characteristics in film have been considered a mere alibi to justify this place for cinema studies. The socalled aesthetics of film present manuals of some aspects of film theory, yet they have not been able to resituate the place that film occupies in aesthetics. The rise in formalist studies have served to construct a history of form, but they have been excessively isolated from the other arts and hermeneutic characteristics that define the historic moment. This article takes as point of departure the text by Erwin Panofsky, to outline various of the principle dilemmas that affect film history abstract in relation to art history.
