chained_bear Celluloid film was so flammable that it would often ignite in factories, projectors, or even in storage. "Safety film" made of cellulose acetate--which had the same photographic properties as celluloid but was less volatile--was first developed in the United States by George Eastman, in 1908. Acetate film became standard by 1948, and in 1950 the Eastman Kodak Company won an Academy Award for its invention. Oct 8, 2007
