It is capitalized here only because it is the first word of the sentence. In the middle of a sentence, it would normally be written η.

What does ταινία mean grammatically in this sentence?

Ταινία is the subject of the sentence. It is a feminine singular noun, and that is why it takes the article η and why the verb is in the 3rd person singular form.

So grammatically:

• Η ταινία = the subject
• έχει = the verb
