 I suspect it is the film used in the movie industry and question its

    It is <color><param>ffff,0000,0000</param>sub-standard</color> motion
picture film, making it even worse! Image stability is a real problem
with this stuff.  Fading and colour shifting has been reported to occur
in as little as five years.  Since the images are going to be scanned and
digitized, you may feel that image permanence is not so important.  There
may be a time, later, when you may regret using this film.  Consider Fred
Ward's recent posting on image stability of the kodachromes and their
rivals shot in over thirty years ago.
