Yes, interesting. Around 1900, what was the Swedish
word for "Moving Picture", "Photo Play", etc. Was it
always "film"?
"Film" is a much older word, referring to a layer,
skin, or in our case the emulsion on the acetate base
(which is not the "film"). The film is where the
images are, viewable in the hand, or by passing light
through them, creating real shadows on the wall.
It includes analog still photography, rather than
video.
"Video" refers to something completely different, not
even digital still photography. It's a different
medium, not merely another "film" format.
