Synopsis

A feature-length documentary that delves into the psychology of film editing — the mystery of how and why an edited movie feels so natural and so effortlessly makes sense. Drawing on the insights of editor Walter Murch, scholar David Bordwell, and a varied group of perceptual scientists, The Cinema Within explores the idea that in film’s earliest years, the most common edits were instinctively shaped to fit the contours of human perception — and that this might explain why, more than a century later, most modern-day filmmakers still rely on these exact same techniques. But in the remote mountains of Turkey, a young researcher – and a group of people who have never seen a film before — put this deepest of cinematic ideas to the test.
