AB - This study aims to analyse two films Waker(2012) and APRES LE DELUGE(2008) which show transmediation in filmmaking. The former is made by Tsai Ming-liang who is one of the most important film directors in Taiwan. The latter is done by Gao Xing-jian who was born in China and moved to France. Both of films are transmediated by fine arts such as performance, painting, and dancing. To examine the visual images of two films deeply, Gilles Deleuze’s cinema theory is taken use of for an analytic tool. Movement-images and time-images are the representative words, which succeeded to Henri Bergson’s ontology including theory of images Firstly, a lot of shots of Waker are captured by movements of main actor and cameras. These shots are related to Deleuze’s movement-image as well as time-image. According to Bergson, movement-images is in the process of changing bound for the whole or the duration. The transmediation of performance to this movie makes audiences feel that this movie is out of genre and get forward to think about the existence of ourselves in the universe under the philosophical thought. Secondly, Gao Xing-jian made APRES LE DELUGE as poetic cinema mentioned by Pier Paolo Pazloini. In this movie, three components of frame, shot, montage are combined into symbolic images. Appling Deleuze’s theory to analyse them, the montage(time-images) of this film is formed by the confluence of paintings and dancings functioning as movement-images(shot). In other words, two fine arts are transmediated to this film and this phenomenon causes this movie’s poetic, symbolic, experimental, and abstract characteristics. I assume that two film directors would like to make a new style of filmmaking using various genres of fine arts, and share their ideas of human beings in the world or universe. Through this study, the concept of images can be discussed by multiple views based on a few scholars’ philosophical arguments.
