Film
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. Recording and transmission of film The moving images of a film are created by photography, photographing actual scenes with a movie camera, motion-picture camera, by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques, by means of computer-generated imagery, CGI and computer animation, or by a combination of some or all of these techniques, and other visual effects.

Moving Pictures (TV Series)
''Moving Pictures'' is a television series devoted to film that aired on BBC 2 from 1991 to 1996. It was presented by ''Rock Follies'' screenwriter Howard Schuman. Each program was composed of several short films on different cinematic subjects and not necessarily on current releases. Although it never achieved high ratings, ''Moving Pictures'' was frequently used to teach film studies. Interviewed on the set of ''Pulp Fiction'', Quentin Tarantino told John Travolta it was the best show about movies on television. Director Mike Figgis credited a film about himself with salvaging his career after it showed the other side of the story of the making of his film '' Mr. Jones''. The series finished in 1996, largely due to the huge cost of paying for film clips, but excerpts from it have since appeared as supplementary material on DVD releases. The Criterion Collection editions of ''Chungking Express'' and '' Straw Dogs'' include ''Moving Pictures'' documentaries on Wong Kar-Wai and Sam ...

Moving Pictures (Ravi Coltrane Album)
''Moving Pictures'' is the debut album led by saxophonist Ravi Coltrane which was recorded in 1997 and released on the RCA/BMG label. Reception Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated, "Coltrane achieves a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere on his first session. It may not offer anything new, but ''Moving Pictures'' is a promising debut from a young saxophonist who may have a lot to offer on his own terms". In The Washington Post, Geoffrey Himes noted "Neither as revolutionary as his father's late recordings nor as conservative as the retro-hard-bop discs released by most youngsters, Coltrane's debut is an impressive, distinctly personal project". All About Jazz said "The album develops slowly; many songs blend into each other without a pause. Some of the early numbers sound a little meandering ... The album's second half is definitely worth hearing, and certainly gives an indication of things to come. It wouldn't surprise me if the next album is better - maybe much better. The tale ...
