Film

Film refers to a medium for recording, reproducing, and displaying motion pictures or moving images. Traditionally made from strips of celluloid coated with a light-sensitive emulsion, film captures a series of still images that, when played in quick succession, create the illusion of motion due to the persistence of vision. In a broader sense, film encompasses both the physical medium and the artistic expression of storytelling through visual images, sound, and performance. Films can vary widely in genre, style, and format, including feature-length movies, documentaries, shorts, and animations. With the advent of digital technology, the term has also evolved to include digital cinema, where films are produced and exhibited using digital formats rather than traditional film stock. Films serve various purposes, including entertainment, education, and social commentary, and they play a significant role in culture and society.
