摘要：Dominant stands consider that films elicit universal experiences. However, data from audiovisual
design suggests that the cultural background of the audience might influence film
perception. In this paper, we explored whether emotional experiences of films change
depending on the cultural openness of the audience. Thus, we presented three culturally
different films (produced in Spain, Finland and US) matched in genre and topic to a Spanish
audience varying in cultural orientation. Our aim was to investigate if cultural
cosmopolitanism, people’s interest for other cultures, influences their experience of
culturally loaded films. We captured viewers’ experiences by means of an on-line voting
system where viewers indicated the more interesting scenes, and by means of an off-line
questionnaire that qualified participants’ voting responses. Results showed very few
differences between films and groups, suggesting that, some emotions might be universally
experienced by some aspects of the films.
