ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on creative and transformative acts in film. The author looks at a range of theories and practices of filmmaking in approaching the construction of (subjective-objective) reality in film via aesthetics. The aim is to question how creative act becomes an act of citizenship in and through film, and whether film becomes an act. The chapter discusses a number of filmmakers who created their works as means of decolonizing their cultural consciousness, and liberating men from the totalitarian propensity towards Self-negation. The author theorizes the creation of new scene and an “open-ended” film and how it constitutes activist citizens.
