The process of producing movies, including writing, directing, filming, and editing.
A compound word combining 'film' (from German 'Film,' originally referring to thin membranes) and 'making.' This word became standard in the 20th century as cinema became established.
Filmmaking is one of the youngest major art forms—photography was invented in 1839 and the first movie only arrived in 1895, so cinema is younger than electricity, meaning someone's great-grandmother lived in a world with zero movies.
