	Cinematic genre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Typically, genres are formed of films that share similarities in the narrative elements from which they are constructed.
		Some groupings may be casually described as genres but this definition is questionable; for example, independent films are sometimes discussed as if they are a genre, but in fact independent production does not determine a film's storyline, and they can belong to any genre.
		Some have argued that genre needs to be distinguished from style; the latter describes the choices made about such things as cinematography, editing, and sound and a particular style can be applied to any genre.

		Film is produced by recording "real" people and objects (including played-out fantasy and fakes) with cameras, and/or by animation.
		Film preservation of decaying film stock is a matter of concern to both film historians and archivists, and to companies interested in preserving their existing products in order to make them available to future generations (and thereby increase revenue).

	Film Genres
		Musical/dance films are cinematic forms that emphasize full-scale scores or song and dance routines in a significant way (usually with a musical or dance performance integrated as part of the film narrative), or they are films that are centered on combinations of music, dance, song or choreography.
		War films acknowledge the horror and heartbreak of war, letting the actual combat fighting (against nations or humankind) on land, sea, or in the air provide the primary plot or background for the action of the film.
		All films have at least one major genre, although there are a number of films that are considered crossbreeds or hybrids with three or four overlapping genre (or sub-genre) types that identify them.

		Furthermore, while AGFA may be an authority on manufacturing film, they are (unlike the American Film Institute) hardly an authority on the art of film.
		I think it should be under "film" or "cinema," but certainly not "movies" (since "movie," in the singular, does not refer to a body of movies the same way "literature" does a body of novels, poetry, plays, etc.; and "movies" carries that stench of commerce with it).
		I think film should be retained (partly because even a group effort would take ages to resolve all the redirects that would require elision) as the home for discussion of film genres and styles.
