WHAT DOES FILMOGRAPHY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Filmography

A filmography is a list of films related by some criteria. For example, an actor's career filmography is the list of films he or she has appeared in; a director's comedy filmography is the list of comedy films directed by a particular director. The term, used since at least 1957, is distinct from "videography" and "cinematography", two mass nouns for processes within the cinematic arts. Filmographies are not limited to associations with particular people. For example, the Handbook of American Film Genres includes "19 substantive essays on major American film genres", each accompanied by a "valuable selected filmography." In 1998, the University of Washington sponsored a university-wide "All Powers Project" which assembled a filmography of films related to the Cold War Red Scare, which consisted of "motion pictures that played a role in fueling the Red Scare, in propagandizing the threat of Communism and in a few rare and rather veiled cases, in standing up to the charges of the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
