Abstract: Community aesthetics, a new direction of film aesthetics, has three significant features. The first feature is the “focus on practice”, which means synchronously tracking the new development trends and new possibilities in the film industry, including the impact of the advancements and changes of social environments and cultural contexts on films, as well as how film technologies strongly influence, rewrite or even disrupt films, especially high technologies such as digital technology, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and big data. The second feature is “theory integration”, which means critically, creatively, constructively and integrally inheriting the valuable achievements in film theoretical researches and aesthetic theoretical researches. The third feature is “tradition inheritance”, which is not only the inheritance and transformation of Chinese traditional cultural thinking, but also the product of spiritual inter-connectivity with the global film industry. Therefore, community aesthetics has the potential to provide a theoretical method, a framework, and a model, capable of exploring inclusive, interactive and practice-oriented theoretical space, theoretical tension and theoretical height. 

Key words: community aesthetics, focus on practice, inheritance, theory integration
