Abstract
What is rhythm in film editing? Philosophical discussions of rhythm in film are divided in their treatment of the subject. Cognitivists and analytic philosophers treat it warily, if at all, as an object of study that is complex and hard to understand. On the other hand, continental philosophers embrace rhythm as a subject, but make their discussions complex and hard to understand. This chapter aims to provide a bridge between the two. It attempts to demystify what rhythm is, how it is shaped and what it is for, while still respecting that it is, in both a film editor’s and an audience’s experience, a felt phenomenon. The intention is to provide an analytic discussion that offers an explanatory framework for the embodied and affective experience of edited rhythms.
