Cinema
Cinema
Cinema (pronunciation: /ˈsɪnɪmə/), also known as motion pictures or film, is a visual art-form used to simulate experiences that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images. These images are generally accompanied by sound, and more rarely, other sensory stimulations.
Etymology
The term "cinema" is derived from the French word cinéma, short for cinématographe, which in turn comes from the Greek kinema (movement) and graphein (to record).
