The multimodal matrix — a. laboratory of devices: film and the Formalist legacy

Abstract This article reviews aspects of Russian Formalist theory that appeared between 1914 and 1930 as applied to cinema, and argues that the period has bequeathed a rich legacy, facilitating the development of an original model for both the analysis and production of narrative film. The model, presented here as a multimodal, systemic-functional semiotic matrix, has its provenance in the history of Russian Formalism, and the influence of Formalism on the development of a multimodal systemic-functional semiotics as applied to cinema studies.
