Surface Forms

filmography singular
filmographies plural

Morphology

filmography = film (semi-transparent) = film + ography

The word is built from 'film' plus the record-writing suffix '-ography', but the exact sense 'a list or record of films' is only partly predictable from the components.

Etymology

Filmography comes from film + -ography, where -ography comes from the Greek graphia meaning 'writing' or 'record'. Like photography and biography, it is a 'record' or list of films made by or about someone, so a filmography lists a person's movies.
