35mm film stock is a size of photographic film. Before the popularity of digital cameras it was the film stock most often used in single shot consumer cameras.
Long reels of 35mm film were among the formats used for filming motion pictures. 8mm film stock was used by ordinary consumers. 16mm film stock was also used, for lower budget films. Some of the very most high budget feature films were shot on 70mm film stock, but relatively few cinemas had cameras that could project these films.
Some smaller cinemas were known for projecting older films that had been transferred from 35mm stock to 16mm stock.
