Filmstrips !

I was searching for The Time Machine on Archive and found this:

Kind of a Reader's Digest version of the Time Machine movie with Rod and Yvette in 21 minutes !  Is that really a prompt to advance to the next picture or a T ?

Of course there is a wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmstrip

And Archive has hundreds of filmstrips:

I noticed that many of the titles shown are "in living red and white":

At first I thought this was Anscochrome syndrome:"it's really good for taking pictures of pizza"

or maybe The Cisco Kid syndrome:

But no, it appears that they were toned black and white photographs - I'll never understand why this was done.

I know we had filmstrips in school, sometimes projected for the whole class, sometimes with a viewer for a single student.

The film strips were 1/2 frame 35mm film - there was a legendary Swiss SLR camera, the Alpa that shot in the 1/2 frame format, would have been perfect for filmstrips of slide film.   Also the equally legendary 1/2 frame Olympus Pen and Pen FT cameras.

Filmstrips probably should have been allowed to die :)
