Kodak introduced 16mm film in 1923, as a less expensive alternative to 35 mm film for amateurs and lower budget motion pictures. 16 mm refers to the width of the film strip. Though originally considered an inferior format, before long 16mm was being used professionally and in television production. In recent years, 16mm has enjoyed a real revival, with many high-end productions wanting the nostalgic aesthetic.
