Pars pro toto: film interpretation according to the documentary method

Abstract: Using the example of a short film shot by students, insights are provided as to how films can be interpreted on the basis of the documentary method. It is shown that the film's meaning, which the documentary method aims to explore, can be found as a homologous structure in different filmic dimensions. It permeates the document both in the individual fragment and as a whole in the sense of "pars pro toto." The study's interpretive results are characterized and validated by the homologies identified in the analysis
