It is often possible to check the originality of the film byexamining the soundtracks. These are the jagged lines along the outside of thefilm, and where the film is one with a Dolby soundtrack, which can be foundbetween the sprocket holes on one side of the film, it is possible to see thehourglass DD symbol in the middle of each area, although a strong magnifying glasswill be needed. Remember that digital soundtracks only became available in the1970s, and Dolby soundtracks much later. It's not possible to give a definitivedate for the adoption of any particular soundtrack technology because it takesa number of years to become fully adopted by the industry.
Every item we produce is hand made and assembled byourselves, thus we are able to guarantee that they are genuine. With the adventof digital technology, 35mm film is becoming rarer. In 2018 (the last date wehave figures for), only 17% of films were released on 35mm and very few ofthese were mainstream movies, and eventually it will become history.
