filmstrips

Sequential frame transparencies

Filmstrips were a mid-twentieth-century educational medium: a roll of still images on 35mm film, projected one frame at a time, often synchronized with an audio recording.

Schools used them extensively before videotapes and digital media made them obsolete.

The teacher threaded the filmstrip projector while we closed the blinds.
