I do think of film at its best as an art form, but among any of those so designated, it's unique in its existence as a single one created from a compendium of others: performance, in the forms of acting, singing or dance; literature, in the forms of story and script; the visual, incorporating painting, sculpture and architecture within the photographic mise-en-scène. And of course, music.
And in its arrangement of these elements into the depiction of motion, it created a new art form in itself: that of montage, in the form of linear assemblage of a succession of images and, eventually, sounds.
Unless there are one or more I've neglected, I can't think of another art form that's essentially comprised of all the others.
