Yuri Larin

Early life Born in to a middle-class intellectual Jewish family, Larin was brought up in Crimea by his mother, Friderika Granat, sister of Ignaty Granat, one of the founders of the Granat Encyclopedic Dictionary, and other members of the Granat family.

Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography".
