Dear teachers:

It is difficult to imagine an easier way of learning about other countries than by watching a *cinema film* of their life and work.

This is another strange sentence for me. Could the word "cinema" be omitted?

Thanks.

Yes. You don't need the word cinema, in there at all, unless you are also referring to some other type of film and you want to diferentiate between the two types.

In the US we call them "movies", I'm not sure about Canada. In Europe you'd be good saying that (I think).
