摘要：In March 1992, researchers from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean inaugurated in Paris the conference épistémocritiqueet Cognition, thus giving official birth to epistemocriticism. This new branch of literary criticism incites us to make a re-appropriation of culture as a whole. Essentially, this perspective calls on us to explore the relations between literature and science. The purpose of my paper is to extend epistemocriticism to film studies. Thus, I analyse how bifurcation theory and Borges's story "The Garden of Forking Paths"operate as main interdiscoursive artefacts in Alejandro Amenábar'sOpen Your Eyesand in Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky. Accordingly, I believe that extending this perspective to film studies, we can achieve a better understanding of what happens in these forking-paths films
