Film Semiotics nears its 40th anniversary four decades during which it has evolved according to the rhythm marked by evolution of Semiotic theories, without attaining even today, the necessary epistemological autonomy. The first film Semiotics was inspired in a conception of Semiotics as a linguistic theory (Bobes Naves 1973), two decades, those ones of the 1960´s an 1970´s, which Saussure Hjelmslev of Greimas provided the theoretical model to follow, to reject or revise to explain the movie language. As the semiotic studies on movie text moved apart of that structuralist epistemological pattern, narrative semiotics turned into a methodological reference that seemed more adequate to the textual analysis of the movie, which at the same time would naturally turned into Pragmatic domains. The constitution of an autonomous subdiscipline included in a General Semiotics globally oriented along Pragmatic lines, exactly as it corresponds to Peirce´s original way of thinking and the each time more necessary interdisciplinary are two tenets that must determine the future movie semiotic.
