The Film or A Film?

Question

I am writing a speech, would you say, "i will be talking about a film called..." or would i say, "i will be talking about the film called..."

Answer

You should say "a film" because this is first time you mention it but as you get deeper into your speech and you want to mention about "film" again then you can use "the"

Answer

I am going to talking about THE film called xxxx.  It's a specific film.

English has two articles: the and 

a/an. The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. We call the the definite article and a/an the indefinite article. For example, if I say, "Let's read the book," I mean a specific book.Mar 3, 2011
