Film

A film, also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film, or photoplay, is a series of still images that, when shown on a screen, create the illusion of moving images. (See the glossary of motion picture terms.)

Wikipedia

Film

A film is a boat which is always on the point of sinking - it always tends to break up as you go along and drag you under with it.

Francois Truffaut interview in Peter Graham's The New Wave (1968).

Film

Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.

Jean-Luc Godard, Le Petit Soldat (film) (direction and screenplay, 1960)

Wikiquote

Film

… a pastime for helots, a diversion for uneducated, wretched, worn-out creatures who are consumed by their worries, … a spectacle which requires no concentration and presupposes no intelligence,… which kindles no light in the heart and awakens no hope other than the ridiculous one of someday becoming a ‘star’ in Los Angeles.

Georges Duhamel, describing cinema, Scènes de la vie future (1930), p. 58.

Salinity gradient energy provides green solution

The amount of energy potentially available from the difference in the salt concentrations of seawater and river water around the world is 1.4 to 2.6 terawatts, or about 20 % of local electricity consumption. This natural process does not produce carbon dioxide or any other polluting combustion emissions, nor does it result in thermal pollution.
