A collective term for the entirety of film industry professionals, productions, and cultural output.
Compound word from 'film' (from Old High German 'filmen' meaning to roll up) combined with 'mass,' referring to the aggregate body of film-related work.
Though not common, 'fillmass' (like 'press' or 'theatre') tries to capture how film became a collective industry—it's rarely used because we now just say 'cinema' or 'the film industry.'
