cine

Pertaining to movies

Cine relates to motion pictures or filmmaking, used chiefly in British English.

A cine camera records moving images; cine film is the medium it uses.

The word appears in compounds: cine-literate, cine club.

On its own, cine can refer to a cinema or movie theater: There's a cine just around the corner.

The term feels slightly dated, largely replaced by video and digital.
