home movie

Japanese: home movie(英語表記)homemovie
home movie

...Generally, the term refers to films that use narrower film (8 mm, 16 mm, etc.), as opposed to the 35 mm film used for commercial cinemas, which is called "standard format." 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 in the late 1920s as "home movies," and cheap reversal film (using a reversal phenomenon without using negative film) made for that equipment.
[history]
Charles Pathé (who founded Pathé), who bought the rights to the Cinematograph from the French Lumiere brothers, who made films that are said to be the origins of home movies, such as "Baby's Feeding," "The Goldfish Bowl," "Children's Quarrel," and "The Card Game" (all 1895), inherited Lumiere's spirit and from the beginning was intent on "domesticizing" film, and succeeded in developing the 28mm, 20mm, and as early as 1920, the 9.5mm Pathé Baby (this format is still used in Europe today).

[歴史]
 ホームムービーの原点といわれる《赤ん坊の食事》《金魚鉢》《子供の喧嘩》《骨牌争ひ》(いずれも1895)を撮ったフランスのリュミエール兄弟から〈シネマトグラフ〉の権利を買い取ったシャルル・パテー(パテー社を設立)は,リュミエールの精神を継承して最初から熱心に映画の〈家庭化〉を考え,28ミリ,20ミリ,そして20年には早くも9.5ミリのパテーベビー(この規格は今日もなおヨーロッパでは使われている)の開発に成功する。…
