16mm projector

Introduced in the 1920’s as a more affordable film format to the industry standard 35mm, 16mm film was popularised by home movie enthusiasts and widely used for educational purposes. Projectors like this Ditmar 16mm became a common piece of audio visual equipment in classrooms and libraries across the world. The popularity of 16mm projectors decreased in the 1980’s as home video technologies were seen as a more cost effective and compact solution to film.
