Just some of the questions that we get asked about film cells and our other products are as follows. Any future useful questions that we get will be updated on this page.

Q. What is a film cell?
A. The film cell or cells are actual 35mm movie strips from the film. If the film, which is the usual case, is in widescreen the image will appear squashed on the cells as with widescreen transmissions on the older 4:3 format.

Q. Why are there sometimes more than one series?
A. A different series means either that the first batch of film has been used or a new movie picture has been placed into the frame but with the same cells; or a new movie picture plus different film cells from the film in question. The latter is usual with long films such as Lord of the Rings' as with a limited edition of say 500 there is still plenty of usable film available.

Q. Will I get a good film cell?
A. Not all the movies film is used, most of it is usually scrapped as it has no useful or interesting pictures. For example: The Matrix, film cells with any of the main characters will be used but a picture of the buildings without anything happening would not. Please note: the film cells used may not be the same as shown in the photographs.

Q. Are film cells collectable?
A. Film cells are very collectable items and can also be a good investment (we of course, do not guarantee this). We are aware that previous limited edition framed film cells from Star Wars have been re-sold, after a period of time, for much more money that was originally paid for.

Q. Which are the best film cells to collect?
A. The ones which are likely to go up in value are the blockbusters and popular titles such as Star Wars, The Matrix, Star Trek and Disney. However, our opinion is at the end of the day, to buy the film cells that you like and are happy to display on your wall. Your film taste is your choice not others - buy the film cells that you like and enjoy them!

Q. Shouldn't the cell be spelt cel?
A. Yes, that is correct. The word cel somes from the word celluloid and, traditionally, in the movie industry it is spelt cel and not cell. However, most people do not know this and that is why we spell the word incorrectly.
