MOTION

Emotion comes from the Latin emovere, meaning “to move out” or “to stir up,” sharing the same root movere (to move) as the word “motion.” This etymology reveals that emotions are not static feelings but internal movements or agitations of the mind. Art, especially cinema, has the profound power to cleanse our perception, revealing the infinite reality often obscured by habit and assumption.

The human brain constructs its own version of truth, meaning we don’t see the world as it is, but as our mind is prepared to comprehend. Therefore, the deepest function of any moving image is not to show us new landscapes, but to give us new eyes, challenging our illusions and renewing our vision of the world.
