Cinema, according to Jacques Rancière, is a multiplicity of concepts that, under the same name, can establish a space of thought. The distance between one concept and another is what separates, but also proposes a relation. Between cinema and politics there are distances, intervals, detours, discussed by the author in Intervals of cinema (Les écarts du cinema). Walter Benjamin used to defend some progressive potencies of cinema, but recognized its fascist uses. Jacques Rancière rediscovers a possibility of the distances, not from cinema in general, but from each film, still having a political force. This force, for both authors, is in the dialectic tension of image, in its ability to suspend speeches, judgments, synthesis.
