- Abstract
- A general survey of the many uses of films, both 35-mm. and 16-mm., as applied to non-theatrical purposes, has been begun by the Committee. There seems to be no question but that this field is growing in importance at a rapid rate, and bids fair to approach the theatrical field in importance, if not eventually in film footage used. The historical situation with reference to non-theatrical films may be of some interest. For more than a decade, individuals and organizations making use of motion pictures for non-theatrical purposes have urged theatrical film producers to provide pictures especially made for non-theatrical showing. To these urgings, the theatrical industry has made practically no response, but has maintained the general attitude that such production was the legitimate function of the theatrical producing companies, and would be taken up at some later date. In addition, the theatrical industry has generally been reluctant to permit a wide non-theatrical use of pictures originally made for theatrical exhibition. As a result, the supply of non-theatrical films and the ready availability of up-to-date theatrical films for non-theatrical purposes have been greatly limited.
