35 mm Films

 

 

Story

​

Adopted almost immediately after the invention of cinema, in 1909, following an international standardization agreement, the frame measuring 24 mm × 18 mm, with an aspect ratio of about 1.33 (as that of television screens in format 4/3). With the advent of sound, and then with the need to create space for the soundtrack, the frame was first raised to 21 mm × 18 mm, with a width-height ratio of approximately 1.16 and, subsequently, to 22 mm × 16 mm (leaving the black space between frames), with an aspect ratio of about 1.37. The latter format is the standard (called Standard Academy) still used today (except for wide-screen formats 1.66 and 1.85, using anamorphic lens or 2,35-2,39-2,40 use of anamorphic lens).

The 35 mm format was the basis for the other formats, it inherits its main features, introducing only small changes regarding the size of the format.
