We reveal how various film orientational correlations are related to the correlations of the curves which are the intersections of the film with a random plane. We suggest that the relations we have found can be used for recovery of film orientational correlations by analyzing planar sections of bulk material. The relation of the film orientational correlations with the density-density correlations is also discussed.
