3. What is Cinema?
• Technically, the word itself derives from the
ancient Greek, kinema, meaning movement.
Historically, it’s a shortened version of the
French cinematograph, an invention of two
brothers, Auguste and Louis Lumiere, that
combined kinema with another Greek
root, graphing, meaning to write or record.
• cinema is much more than the intersection of art
and technology. It is also, and maybe more
importantly, a powerful medium of
communication. Like language itself, cinema is a
surrounding and enveloping substance that carries
with it what it means to be human in a specific
time and place.
• It mediates our experience of the world, helps us
make sense of things, and in doing so, often helps
shape the world itself. It’s why we often find
ourselves confronted by some extraordinary event
and find the only way to describe it is: “It was like
a movie.”

to gain a profit from these films gives
all such kind of non-sense in order to
gain peoples interest and money.
