Abstract: The aesthetic autonomy of artistic works is generated in the process of copying, misappropriating and circulating, which makes it difficult to exhaust the list of related works of any film. A film theory attempts to create concepts to abstract a more purified style so as to confirm its individuality and originality. However, due to the social and eclectic nature of theories themselves, the coexistence, flow and abuse of concepts are very common. In the crevice between theory and history, concept becomes an empty ghost. Comparative filmology can be a basic strategy to solve the worldwide problem of deciphering the theoretical identity of a film. Be it sequential comparatism or contextual comparatism, the purpose of comparative film research is not to take superficial similarities and differences as the annotation of original theoretical identity, but to attach importance to the essential differences in theoretical origins by regarding language competition and semiotic transformation aiming at knowledge production as ways of  thinking,  and to find the ideological sources of different film theories in an open perspective.

Key words: comparative filmology, ethnic film theory, sequential comparatism, contextual , comparatism
