This essay addresses the absence of the image in recent theories of the common by outlining a concept of the cinematic common. A “specter” of this common is identified in the contemporary discourse of film heritage. Here, the cinematic common begins to come into view as a living archive of communicative and cognitive procedures embedded in the networks of immaterial labor. In order to develop the cinematic common further, particularly in relation to the contemporary usage of Marx's concept of the “general intellect,” the essay presents an analysis of Harun Farocki's experimental film Arbeiter verlassen die Fabrik [Workers Leaving the Factory] (1995). In a final section, film heritage is re-theorized in order to present the cinematic common in a prognostic capacity as part of the revolutionary project of the multitude
