	Dogme and the Reality of Fiction
		Rather, Dogme shares from and with a small group of European Art Cinema authors such as Gaspar Noé, François Ozon, Claude Miller, and Philippe Grandrieux.
		For example, the subjectivity of the Expressionist film (traditionally a film descended from the European Art Cinema) can make the realism of classical Hollywood (i.e., the Realist film) appear to be “fictional” while the objectivity of the Hollywood film can make the Expressionist appear fictional.
		David Bordwell in his book, “Narration in the Fiction Film,” deals with this paradox by stating that the modern realism of the European Art Cinema is not more real than that of Classical Hollywood’s representation of reality rooted in late nineteen century realism.

	Sürü
		It opposes “third cinema”, a cinema that is political in both content and practice, to “first cinema”, standard commercial production in the Hollywood mode, and “second cinema”, art cinema, a category encompassing everything from the work of auteurs in commercial cinema to the European art cinema and various kinds of avant-garde cinema.
		It is to be hoped that exile, and the material resources of European film production, will not blunt the compelling “third cinema” roughness of Güney's future production in the way that, for example, one feels that some recent Cuban films have traded technical and intellectual polish for the ambition and passion of earlier work.
		The notion of “third cinema” invoked at the end of the article derives from the seminal essay by Fernando Solanas & Octavio Gettino, "Towards a Third Cinema”.

	"Framing Post-Third-Worldist Culture"
		In relation to cinema, the term "Third World" has been empowering in that it calls attention to the collectively vast cinematic productions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, as well as the minoritarian cinema in the First World.
		Third Worldists often fashioned their idea of the nation-state according to the European model, in this sense remaining complicit with a Eurocentric Enlightenment narrative.
		With the postwar collapse of European empires and the emergence of independent nation-states, the "Third World" and its diasporas in the First World have rewritten their own histories, taken over their own images, and spoken in their own voices, reclaiming and reaccentuating colonialism and its ramifications in the present.

		On the circumstances of cinematic consumption, he argues that watching a film in the picture house is a "simultaneous collective experience" which should favour the awakening of a radical mass consciousness: "individual reactions are predetermined by the mass audience response they are about to produce, and this is nowhere more pronounced than in the film".
		In his comments to Benjamin on the "Work of Art" essay, Adorno warns against an excessive faith in the transformational potential of cinema, arguing that "reification has no more disappeared from the cinema than it has from the great works of art".
		His authentic heirs are, rather, those cultural critics who have developed and systematised his dynamic concept of modernity, or else pursued his strategy of taking up stray objects from popular culture and coaxing out their wider cultural significance.
