This Film is Dangerous

Anna Batistová

This short article introduces the fire hazards in places where cinematographic material is handled in connection with the use of a cellulose nitrate substrate. This substrate for cinematographic film was used in the world until the end of the 1950s, in our country until 1961. It can still be found in audiovisual archives around the world today. Since 1945, the Film Technical Service (FITES) has been responsible for fire prevention.
