_Biograf_ is the Swedish term, usually shortened to simply _bio_. A movie shown
at  a _biograf_ is frequently called a _biofilm_, which word can also mean
"biofilm" (as in a thin coating of bacteria or similar). I've managed to get
people confused as to which of these two meanings I intended ...

The same general semantic field also provides one of the more evilly spelt
Swedish words; _video_ ['vi:djU].
