Puzzle 10: There is a language named after one of my relatives. Who am I?

Same rules as before. Solve the clues to get the letters that spell the title of the movie.

Moving forward, I will be posting only 1 puzzle each week to give myself a bit more time for other projects. You are still welcome to lock in for more than 1 puzzle at a time, but you can keep your rules in effect only while a puzzle is active if you like (just a simple solution to having fewer puzzles).

And I just got caught up on my "daily dues" yesterday!

So for this one, I'll try my "first glance" guesses which seem to be the only time I get anything:

1. PROP
2.
3.
4.
5. CATFISH

[elf_ears]

1. gear
2. large
3. filmography
4.
5. poacher

None are correct here I'm afraid.

Clues 2 and 5 are correct from these guesses.

Thanks for trying, SeaFlower. I keep the three remaining clues open on my desktop but just don't have any ideas....

Excellent guesses, all are incorrect however.

[MarvHarvey]

OK, lets' try to brainstorm one at a time. #1 https://imgur.com/a/u0Iof

Incorrect answers: PROP NOSE GEAR FACE

So what could it be? This is the front, the engine and propeller, of a 1930's(?) radial-engined airplane. What does the arrow point to? Cooling FINS or does it just mean something to do with the engine such as FUEL or "????" ? HEAD as in cylinder head?

[MarvHarvey]

And to brainstorm #4

We tried NATURE FOLLOW SCREEN but maybe we were too smart for our own good.
What do you folks think about STREAM or RAPIDS? The symbol at right could represent streaming of audio/video?

You are on the right track here. The engine is the key. FINS, FUEL, and HEAD are all incorrect.

For this one, think about how the arrows could be applied to the image. STREAM and RAPIDS are incorrect.

[MarvHarvey]

Hmmm. Thanks sciencegal.
I didn't think the words for #1 were any good, just thinking points.
But I had some hopes for those for #4, I just didn't know which to suggest!

From what you say about #4 I have to wonder about ZOOMIN as a possibility.

C'mon gang - let's dig in here!

[MarvHarvey]

OK making a suggestion. It has come to my attention that for #4 the symbol on the right is used in some science notations to represent a source. And more particularly in the study of fluids. What is a river if not fluids?

A river has a source, 6 letters like we need: SOURCE. (??)
