# “ IDEAS AND FILM II ” 1960S BELL AND HOWELL INDUSTRIAL AUDIO-VISUAL DEALER PROMO FILM

This promo film from the 1960s "Ideas and Film II" is presented by Bell and Howell Industrial Audio-Visual Dealer Company and produced by Telecine Film Studios, Inc. in Park Ridge, Illinois. The film was intended to convince contractors that industrial films had a place in their communications plan. "How Many Ways Can Film Serve Us?" is the premise of this movie -- and it shows many different industrial uses of cameras and camera technology. This includes high-speed and slow-motion photography of shattering light bulbs, SNARK missiles, ejection seats, and even atomic bomb explosions. Bell & Howell was formerly a leading manufacturer of motion picture machinery, and was founded in 1907 by two projectionists. The company pretty much exists in name only today, with its marks licensed to makers of various electronic consumer products. “Ideas And Film” title banner (00:07). Credits (00:13).
