Certainly there has been words refering to i.e. the Lumiére "cinématographe"
(Kinematograf).
O.f.c. we do have "video" (it's the same). But when it comes to film and
movies, there's no distinction.
And yes, I certainly agree with you that the difference between film and
video (in technical terms) is huge.
