Our objective is to investigate how the comprehension of the essay film connected to the notion of the aesthetic of the fragment allows us to recognize the expressive powers of the images used by works in the essay domain of cinema. Furthermore, we intend to verify the discursive consequences for the essay film made with image fragments from different expression regimes. We start from the hypothesis that image fragments can act as fragments of thought, due to the character of thoughtfulness of images achieved through the encounter of different regimes of artistic expression. Therefore, we will carry out an analysis of a set of preliminary reflections on the essay film developed by us over the last few years. Finally, we signal that, through the editing exercise, the essay film is constructed by arranging these fragments of imagetic thought.
