The paper describes the practical application of the concept of intermediality – internationally recognized research field – in the English language classroom. The analysis is based on the analysis of three films – Dead Poets’ Society, Mona Lisa Smile, and Words and Pictures. The paper shows how different media interact both explicitly and implicitly in individual films thus enhancing the intellectual, aesthetic and emotional substance of the films. The study presents practical advice on interpreting texts of films and illustrates how new types of meanings are established in between visual and other arts.
