Cinematographic film; exposed and developed, whether or not incorporating sound track or consisting only of sound track
In plain English
This category includes motion picture film that has already been exposed and developed, regardless of whether it contains a sound track or is made up entirely of sound. The items are split into two groups based on their width. One group covers film that is 35 centimeters wide or wider. The other group includes film that is narrower than 35 millimeters.
