what is the difference between a film & a cinema?

Answer 1

I do think that the word cinema could be used to describe the whole history of film making, and else to refer to the theater where the film plays.

The film is actually what it is... it is a celluloid strip that contains silver, which by photochemical process renders the image over the negative strip of the film that then is taken to the lab and turned into a positive print that then goes to distribution in theaters.

Answer 2

Not really - the words may be used interchangeably.

Film: refers to the film stock used to record images (noun), a movie with or without soundtrack (noun), or to make a movie (verb).

Movie: refers to a film with or without a soundtrack (noun), a theatre where moving pictures are shown (noun), or a branch of the entertainment industry (noun).

People used to go to the moving pictures, which were made from a series of images recorded on film stock. But the words 'movie' and 'film' have became interchangeable over time.

Of course, moving pictures do not need to be recorded on film, as hand-drawn flip books and early mechanical moving picture systems predate film. However, moving pictures made using these older methods are limited in length. Animated films / movies may be created from images drawn by hand directly on transparent film stock or by scratching images and patterns onto the emulsion on undeveloped film stock. Films / movies can be made using computer animation, a process which permits the physical film stock to be eliminated.
