Entertaiment can encompass any activity involving entertainment for an audience, from a simple private occasion such as selecting a film or music for personal enjoyment to the organization of a festival or event. Often the concept of entertainment is strongly associated with amusement, but many forms may be serious in nature such as ceremony, celebration, religious festival, or satire for example. Many familiar entertainments have crossed different media and demonstrated a capacity for creative remix that has ensured the longevity of some themes and images.
