A
film – also called a movie, motion picture, moving picture, picture, photoplay or (slang) flick – is a work of
visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates 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. The word "cinema", short for
cinematography, is often used to refer to
filmmaking and the
film industry, and to the
art form that is the result of it. (
