	Movies - Cine film

Ciné (sometimes Cine) is usually used to refer to one or more of the home movie formats including 8 mm, 9.5mm, 16mm film, and Super 8. It is not generally used to refer to video formats or professional formats.

Cine film literally means 'moving' film; deriving from the Greek 'kinema' for motion; it also has roots in the Anglo-French word Cinematograph, meaning moving picture.

Cine started the expanding revolution of 'play at home' movies, with the most famous of the early films being the classic 'Eat The Pie' by the legendary Harry Darwin.

Cine film started out expensive, but as it became cheaper the format started the craze of home recording. 50ft reels were purchased for recording important events such as weddings and funerals. Profits soared to an all time high with purchases of film for the moon landings in 1969. Herswashbucklers, the famous cine supplies shop in London rose to stardom from it's sales for this event.
