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.

Climate policy knowledge for well-informed decision-making

An EU project aims to support policy and decision makers in taking well-informed decisions, by facilitating understanding of the consequences of different policies and climate regimes, thereby reducing uncertainties and enhancing their insights. Work to date involved identification of knowledge needs and their consequent addressing by collecting and synthesising knowledge.
