BIRMINGHAM COMMERCIAL FILMS
9.5MM CATALOGUE

This is a very simple and short page! Birmingham Commercial Films appear to have been a camera shop plus commercial division providing film processing, titling, servicing etc. The processing, titling departments traded under the name of Birco Films I recall.

In the Amateur Cine World magazine they had advertised for amateur film productions. The short series of "Film Cameos" that appeared shortly afterwards is presumably the result of these requests. The first three titles were released in 9.5mm - the prints being provided from Pathéscope via their triple print 9.5mm from special 35mm stock system. The films were called '1 reel', but the length on 16mm and 9.5mm was actually 150ft giving a running time per 'reel' at 16fps of around 6 minutes.
