One of the principal features defining traditional cinema is a fixed and linear narrative structure.[1] In Database Cinema however, the story develops by selecting scenes from a given collection.

Over the past century, this subversive form of populist remixing has been called many things, including appropriation art, détournement, media jamming, found footage, avant-garde film, television hacking, telejusting, political remix, scratch video, vidding, outsider art, antiart, and even cultural terrorism."
