Rare 9.5mm Film Transfers: Preserving Unique Historical Film
Discovering the Charm of 9.5mm Film: A Vintage Treasure
Discover the 9.5mm film format, introduced by Pathé in 1922 as part of their Pathé Baby amateur film system. Initially a budget-friendly way to enjoy movies at home, this format quickly gained popularity.
Unlike the more common 8mm formats with perforations on the edges or both sides, 9.5mm film features a single perforation between each frame. This unique design provides a larger image area, offering a richer visual experience.
The single perforation, cleverly hidden from view, allows the film to advance smoothly, creating a seamless and engaging viewing experience. The 9.5mm format captures the charm of vintage filmmaking and brings a touch of cinema history into your home.
