The main goal of the FilmTerm 2021 Conference was to present the latest terminology work in the field of Cinema. We presented free online tools and best practices for terminology work, and aimed to encourage film students and young researchers to take up the terminology work by providing a platform to network with the international community of terminology researchers, to create a common vision for the film terminology research.
