oh no, for TV films go through a process alled TELECINE which actually changes the length of the movie-- speeds it up a little. telecine involves expensive equipment that "videotapes" each movie frame & recomposes it as a video timeline.
of course there are new cheap adaptations of that but an industrial telecine machine ain't cheap.
actually, PAL is closer to film rate so many indie filmmakers used to shot in PAL (for cheap) and then print to film but with 24P and HD video that is not needed any more.
