Birthday of celluloid

Celluloid Capers

On this day April 6, 1869, celluloid is patented. Since then, celluloid has become metonymical with cinema. The word can also be found in the title of the French/American record label Celluloid Records and in the title of the Anglophone gay film book The Celluloid Closet.

Celluloid Capers was a sex film magazine à la Cinesex, Sex Stars System and Continental Film Review.
