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.)
Media
Media may refer to:
Film
The public has lost the habit of movie-going because the cinema no longer possesses the charm, the hypnotic charisma, the authority it once commanded. The image it once held for us all, that of a dream we dreamt with our eyes open, has disappeared.

Film
A good opening and a good ending make for a good film provide they come close together.
Federico Fellini, [Recipe for a Good Film], a Fellini Lexicon, (1992).
Film
Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.
