Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to investigate the concept of the photogeny within the production of films, and to understand how the photogeny, as a cinematographic device, is achieved in movies by John Cassavetes. Considering Walter Benjamin’s aspiration that identifies  a new configuration in arts with mechanical reproduction, this paper aims to expand the photogeny’s concept within the movies relating it to its ability to produce affections.
