Hypertext syntagmas: cinematic narration with links
Manovich.b

In contrast, [to animation] cinema works hard to erase any traces of its own production process, including any indication that the images we see could have been constructed rather than recorded. It denies that the reality it shows often does not exist outside of the film image, the image that was arrived at by photographing an already impossible space, which itself was put together through the use of models, mirrors, and matte paintings, and which was then combined with other images through optical printing. It pretends to be a simple recording of an already existing reality - both to a viewer and to itself. (Manovich 1999, p. 178.)
