I'm kind of in movie mode, given that I saw a couple yesterday, and am looking forward to the Oscars tonight. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good quote about film specifically, but I think that this notion from British mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead applies to all the various forms that art may take including the flickers.
"Art heightens the sense of humanity.
It gives an elation to feeling which is supernatural.
A million sunsets will not spur on men towards
civilization. It requires Art to evoke into
consciousness the finite perfections which lie
ready for human achievement"
"Art heightens the sense of humanity.
