Generally when a character or vehicle is moving from screen left to right they are moving toward an unknown. And when a character is moving screen right to left they are headed toward a known or headed home.Of course there are exceptions to this. For example in "2001" the moon bus is shown moving in both directions since it is moving from a known to a known.
Follow Ups:
...our eyes move upwards, and to the left; while wen are imagining something which still hasnīt happened, our eyes move upwards and to the right (at least, thatīs how it usually happens in most right-handed people: left-handed ones use to look the other way round...)So, the way for the images going from known (remembered) towards the unknown (imagined) would be from the left side of the screen towards the right side, to show some coherence with the way our brains work, with both hemispheres working in different, complementary ways.
Interesting...

left to right: past to present to future...

Teasing you, of course. But there are other directions - up and down, and diagonally.
Generally movement away makes the subject less threatening or menacing. Movement toward you makes the sdubject more threatening or menacing.
...as when the camera, from the groomīs position, takes the bride approaching the altar, her face covered with a veil and her hands hiding behind a flower bouquet... Threatening indeed!Regards

You weren't at my two weddings!I'm just quoting Gianetti here. The rules are not applicable in every situation but following them can amplify a psycholgical mood.
Darn artists...
I mean, is that what you've noticed?
It is part of the language of film. I read about it in a book called "Understanding Movies". But I have noticed it dozens of times. Check it out in the next few films you watch.
Wierd...I work with and have edited for a lot of (currently, fairly important) people who make films and have never heard (or heard of) that or seen it applied etc. I've worked on stuff and/or have intimate knowledge of projects where people or vehicle's were moving in either direction with either outcome.
In fact, I think it's safe to say that in general, in cinema today, it is not a language that's being spoken with any regularity.
"Where are we going? And what am I doing in this hand basket?"
..thanks, I'll look out for that.
The book was written by Louis Gianetti and is in its ninth edition. I believe Amazon has it.
