  1. There are several definitions, so let's just look at some examples: - Meta-text: a text that discusses the text (an author's notes on his own book for example) - Meta-theory: theories about a certain theory (theories centered around psychoanalysis for example) - Metaphysics: theories around abstract concepts that's not based on the physical reality (being, knowing, and identity for example) A meta-film can also be several things: - A film within the movie that's directly acknowledged as a fictional movie ("Angels with filthy souls" in "Home Alone" for example) - A fictional movie with self-references ("Adaptation" is about the screenwriter's tough process of writing the script for the movie) - A film that references its own genre and/or universe ("Shrek" constantly references Disney characters and tropes in a way that feels like the team behind the movie makes fun of Disney)
