| Summary: | When the small cameras and portable projectors that used 16mm film stock emerged in 1923, they allowed - for the first time in history - the possibility that anyone could make, show, and watch movies. A foundational but largely forgotten film format that offered a suite of technologies, 16mm was a democratic alternative to the larger and more expensive 35mm technology used by the commercial film industries around the world. With the remarkable ubiquity and utility of 16mm, moving images came to be integral to the way we play, learn, fight, work, and document the world, seeding the path to our current world of portable technologies and personal media. To mark 16mm's first 100 years, the essays in this book consolidate and catalyse considerations of the uniquely important - but still surprisingly underestimated and understudied - role that 16mm has played in film and media theory, history, and practice. |
