Armand Assante‘s role as Roberto Texador in Sidney Lumet‘s film Q&A garnered him a Golden Globe nomination.

Cinema, short for cinematography, is often used to refer to the industry of films and filmmaking or to the art of filmmaking itself. The contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences to communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty or atmosphere.
