Why is it masculine?
Film is masculine in French because it is a borrowed word from English that was assimilated into French in the early 20th century. French typically assigns masculine gender to consonant-final borrowings from English, particularly those ending in -m. While the word ultimately derives from Latin "filum" (thread), the modern French borrowing "film" follows the pattern of French masculine nouns ending in consonants rather than inheriting gender from its Latin root.
