Off Screen Intentions

Why exactly is film so intriguing? It is merely because it allows us to see into different worlds? Or even because it has the ability to show us something about our own worlds?
I've been experimenting with film for a few years now and I am still trying to figure out why I am doing what I am doing.
My "thing" is dance that incorporates film. But how exactly is that different than just "dance?" I know why. Well, I could explain the definitions of both and then explain, literally, why and how they are different.
But more abstractly, how are the worlds different? What am I trying to accomplish by using both? When working on a specific project or choreographic work, I could easily explain based on my piece intentions. But I am asking in the broadest idea of multi-media art - not on a specific level.

It's still something that I am working on.
