Image for 16mm Film

16mm Film

16mm film is a type of motion picture film used for making movies, television, and educational videos. It features a strip of film measuring 16 millimeters wide, with images embedded in a series of tiny, sequential frames. When projected at a steady speed, these frames create the illusion of moving pictures through rapid succession. It has historically been popular for both amateur and professional filmmaking due to its balance of image quality and affordability. Though largely replaced by digital technology, 16mm film is still valued for its distinctive aesthetic and archival quality.
