The thesis presented by the researcher Baha Abdul Mohsen Hassan included the study of the cinema presence, which occupies a large space in some contemporary directorial trends, which are looking to present an advanced theatrical vision, replete with the enormous technological potential involved in cinema artistically and technically.
The thesis aims to reveal the phenomenological underpinnings involved in the cinematic presence in contemporary theatrical presentation.
