Filmstrips were a form of documentary multimedia shown in primary school. The filmstrip was a spool of 35 mm positive film with images arranged sequentially for presentation to an audience. Filmstrips were shown mostly to the baby boomer generation schoolkids of the U.S. and U.K. during the 1960s, 1970s, and the early 1980s. Though some filmstrips were animated, most were more like slide shows. Coronet Instructional Media was one of the leading producers of filmstrip presentations, and science constituted one of the leading subjects.
The instructor would turn on a film projector that would show the first slide. The instructor would, then, turn on a 33 RPM record or cassette tape, containing narration. At the appropriate point a tone would sound, signalling the instructor to advance to the next slide. During the 1970s, advanced projectors became common that would detect the tone and automatically advance the frame. However, if improperly setup the narration and film can be out of synchronzation.
Early celluloid filmstrips had a habit of spontaneously melting or combusting from the intense heat of the projection lamp.

Imagine a group of 35mm slides, without the cardboard frames, all attached to each other as a continuous piece of color film.
Film strips were often used in schools and displayed on a screen using a simple projector with a bright lamp. There was no sound, and the individual frames were advanced manually.
The images were stills, not moving or animated in any way, so it was more like a slide show, not a movie.

Is a series of 1/2 frame (35mm) of any subject, that can be projected onto a screen by an optical machine (the projector).
The shots was done by a pro photographer with special 1/2 frame camera (that one that takes 72 pictures in place of the regular 36), Olympus was one of them.
The secuence was arranged by the subject teacher.

a short film. the term comes from the old days when film was in reels. a short film was often only a strip, not a full reel.
