In the Trek world as we've seen it, ALL the pictures seem to
move (except for the anacronistic ones Pikard had in the most
recent movie). I would think they needed a special term for
STILL pictures and that the word for picture would normally
cover moving ones.
Meanwhile, the "movie" about the Genesis Project was referred
to as the Genesis "data". I believe it was qa'vam De'. I
suspect that they would think of a "movie" as a recording of
information.
