Cinema: In British-English it is the name of a theater where motion-picture films (movies) are shown.

Cinema is an abbreviation for the word cinematographic, from French cinématographique. The word cinema was originally written as kinema, from the Greek kinēo*-matos, meaning movement.

Cinematographic is from kinēo-matos +graphicos, from grapho, to describe, (e.g. write, draw.) The very first moving-picture-film camera was invented in France in 1892, and was called a cinématographe. The first film was made in 1894 and screened in southern France in 1895, in La Coitat, the world's first cinema. *from which the word kinetics comes. ---- For more information, see Related links below this box.

The purpose of cinema is generally for entertainment. It can also teach the viewers some lesson especially those with good morals in it. Cinema can also influence the people, particularly if they can relate to a certain scene in the movie.

A film, also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phiphenomenon. This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry. A film is created by Photography actual scenes with a motion picturecamera; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computeranimation; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visualeffects.

The word "cinema", short for cinematography, is often used to refer to the industry of films and filmmaking or to the art of filmmaking itself. The contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences to communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other sensory stimulations.
