Itıs a problematic term but ok as a title or marketing name. It would seem
to refer to some kind of aural/visual equivalence a kind of flawed
interpretive synethesia. In reference to 2 & 3 below even when a fim is
mute, sound will be present so any film that does not integrate, deal
withı or problematise image and sound will be a poor film.
Whatıs wrong with abstract?
