Today’s ‘films’ are nothing of the sort – so stop calling them that | John Boorman

Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans was the only best picture nominee this year shot on celluloid. It's time to stop misnaming movies

For more than 100 years, films have been made of film. Now, instead of a magazine being loaded on to the camera, a card is inserted that electronically records whatever the camera sees.

Today, most films" are made electronically. No film is used in the making of them - not the shooting, editing or projection. So they can't - or shouldn't - be called films.
