Condition Inspection
Authentic 1980 35mm film strip cut from an original theatrical projection reel.
Important Condition Note: This strip is printed on original vintage Eastman film stock. As is very common with Eastman prints from the late 70s and 80s, the cyan and yellow dyes have degraded over the decades, resulting in a distinct, uniform red/magenta color shift across the film. The logo and starfield remain clearly visible, but the color is heavily faded to red. Additionally, as these were genuinely run through cinema projectors, the strip may exhibit minor surface scratches or edge wear.
*Please review all gallery photos closely before purchasing to observe the red fade and physical condition!*
