The article is devoted to the scholarly rethinking of the digital film’s s concept, which today is widely used in both scientific research and industry. Lev Manovich writes about the "death" of the cinema and its transformation into animation, another point of view is presented, for example, by the creator of Star Wars, George Lucas, who says that digital technology is just a new form of transmitting visual information. However, there is nether universally accepted definition of a “digital film”, or theoretical basis for its analysis. This situation causes methodological difficulties for the academic research of digital cinema.

Encountering classical and modern scientific theories with the industrial experience of digital cinema, its technical innovations and tendencies for integration with other digital genres, such as computer games or animations, questions are raised about the nature of modern cinema, the problems of presentation and representation, and the change in the aesthetics of cinema as art.

The trend towards convergence of digital genres creates new opportunities for considering digital film as a new form of cinema, possessing qualities inherited not only in classical cinema, but also in modern digital cultures and technologies.
