film Vs video: video as present time, film as past time.

Video is a present-time medium. Its image can be simultaneous with its perception by/ of its audience(it can be the image of its audience perceiving.) The space/time it presents is continuous, unbroken, and congruent with that of the real time which is the shared time of its perceivers and their individual and collective real environment.
Film is an edited represention of the past of another reality/ an other's reality for separate contemplation by unconnected individuals. Flim is discontinuous, its language constructed, in fact, from syntactival and temporal disjunctions. Flim is a reflection of a reality external to the spectatior's body; the spectator's body is out of the frame. In a live-video-stituation, the spectator may be included within the frame at one moment, or be out of the frame at another moment.
Video feeds back indigenous data in the immediate, present time environment or connects parallel time/space continua.
