ABSTRACT:
A container for shipping and handling a motion picture film of feature length ready for projection using turntable-type projection equipment without the need for splicing or cutting the film. The device has spaced upper and lower main walls with central openings, an inner ring between the main walls removably secured to the lower wall and providing for film attachment, an outer annular wall extending between the main walls near the peripheral edges and preferably an inner annular wall near the central openings, and devices drawing the main walls together to close the container. Preferred embodiments have the outer and inner annular walls affixed to the upper wall such that the lower main wall forms a substantially flat disk without substantial projections, to facilitate film removal and rewinding during first and last showings of the film at a theater. Other features relate to inner ring characteristics aiding attachment and removal.
