It suggests potential applications of visual history in the use of digital technologies, including digital video, in research and cognitive function. The article also presents an experimental digital research film project entitled “Reading the Cultural Landscape. (Szczebrzeszyn, Biłgoraj, Sochy, Bełżec)”. The film was created in 2018 at the Institute of History of the Maria Curie‑Sklodowska University in Lublin in collaboration with the Center for Historical Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Berlin, under the direction of Piotr Witek and Ewa Solska, with the support of students Paulina Gajek, Gabriela Winiarczyk, Andrzej Włoch and Jarosław Michota. The article addresses a number of important issues, including the conceptualization of the cultural landscape, the operationalization of the category of “reading” the cultural landscape, the epistemological and methodological assumptions of the project, the conditions and criteria for the use of video in the research function, the choice of film format, the methodology of work during the project, and the presentation of the result in the form of a digital film.
