Drama
Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance: a play performed in a theatre, or on radio or television. Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's Poetics (c. 335 BC)—the earliest work of dramatic theory.

English usually refers to:
Film
A film, also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film, or photoplay, is a series of still images that, when shown on a screen, create the illusion of moving images. (See the glossary of motion picture terms.)
Film
I honestly don't understand the big fuss made over nudity and sex in films. It's silly. On TV, the children can watch people murdering each other, which is a very unnatural thing, but they can't watch two people in the very natural process of making love. Now, really, that doesn't make any sense, does it?
Sharon Tate Sharon Tate and the Manson Murders (2000) by Greg King
Film
A film is a boat which is always on the point of sinking - it always tends to break up as you go along and drag you under with it.
Francois Truffaut interview in Peter Graham's The New Wave (1968).
Film
I can no longer think what I want to think. My thoughts have been replaced by moving images.
Georges Duhamel, Scènes de la vie future (1930), p. 52.
