A fullerene film and a fullerene polymer both produced from a fullerene derivative are provided which can be easily formed by a wet process and can retain the intact properties inherent in the fullerene. Also provided are processes for producing the film and polymer. A solution of a fullerene derivative decomposing at a temperature lower than the pyrolysis temperature of the fullerene, e.g., the fullerene derivative represented by the following formula, is applied to a substrate. The resultant coating film is heated at a temperature higher than the pyrolysis temperature of the fullerene derivative and lower than a pyrolysis temperature of a fullerene. Thus, a fullerene film and a fullerene polymer are obtained which retain the properties inherent in the fullerene.
