SUMMARY: The research of entry words related to film terminology in the Croatian dictionaries, as well as in the dictionaries of foreign words, was aimed at establishing the degree of presence of professional film terms, systematic quality of their selection, frequency of certain entry words in various dictionaries, and also the competence and relevance of the definitions themselves, and, finally, the cultural estimate of the foregoing. Even though film is a rather new phenomenon, it has been found that the reviewed dictionaries contain film terminology; if all the dictionaries are considered collectively, the overall number is quite significant.
