The seventh art is the most popular form of media that helped shaping the world's consciousness during the Twentieth Century. At the same time, cinema is of great significance as it can safeguard the intangible and tangible heritage of different societies, in addition to their history, values, and philosophy. Since the art of cinema has been conceived as a national and global heritage, different countries have begun to identify films as records of their past, which help to build their future. This paper argues that cinema has passed through many phases, from being merely a commercial commodity to being considered a creative art. In addition, the research highlight on how cinema has been transformed as recorded history to be a heritage that must be safeguarded, by cultural entities as the UNESCO, and film specialists‟ individuals as well.
