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.

New technology to boost rare earths recycling

Rare earth metals have specific electronic and magnetic properties that make them an essential component of many of today’s high tech electronic devices, but recycling these components is still very challenging. However, new developments by EU-funded researchers will make it simpler to recover these vital materials, and so lead to increased levels of recovery from end-of-life products.
