    I have never heard either phrase. "Film", "movie" and "motion picture" are all ways of referring to them - "film" traditionally British, and the other two traditionally American, though they have all spread out.

  • Maybe you could tell us where you heard or read these terms?

  • I suppose that, in the days before digital cameras, you could distinguish between 'cinematographic films' and 'photographic films'.

  • But did anybody use those phrases to do so, @KateBunting?

  • @KateBunting, there is also a very broad sense of film that encompasses various kinds of thin, flexible materials, including those that have nothing to do with either cinematography or (still) photography. It is conceivable that in some contexts one might need to use the word cinematographic to distinguish the films that one is talking about from all these other kinds of films.
