Fantish,
For our context Movie and Film are synonyms. They're have the same
meanings. I must say English tripped on that one :-). So we don't
need to worry and simply use ፊልም.
However we need to differentiate Video. All movies/films are videos,
but not all videos are movies. For eg., music clips, documentaries,
interviews, shows, etc. We need to use ቪዲዮ for it.
I too read that word somewhere. I think it was ተልወስዋሽ ምስሎች or
something. I think all of us can agree that we're better off without
this awkward failed experiment somebody had.
Best regards,
Eyob
