Small movie - Kogata Eiga

Japanese: 小型映画 - こがたえいが
Small movie - Kogata Eiga
In general, the term refers to films that use narrower film (8mm, 16mm, etc.), as opposed to the 35mm film used for commercial cinemas, which is called the "standard type." However, originally it was a general term for "films" shot using small, lightweight equipment (Pathé Baby, Cine Kodak) developed and sold for amateurs by the French company Pathé and the American company Kodak, and popularized worldwide as "home movies" in the late 1920s, and cheap reversal film (using a reversal phenomenon without using negative film) made for that equipment.

一般には,劇場用商業映画として使用される35ミリフィルムを〈標準型〉と呼ぶのに対して,それよりも幅の狭いフィルム(8ミリ,16ミリなど)を使用する映画を指す。しかし,本来はフランスのパテー社やアメリカのコダック社がアマチュア向けに開発,販売し,1920年代後半に〈ホームムービーhome movie〉として世界的に普及させた小型軽量の機材(パテーベビー,シネコダック)と,それ用の安価なリバーサルフィルム(ネガフィルムを使わず反転現象によるもの)を使って撮る〈映画〉の総称である。
