Yep.  It's static electricity, and it happens all the time when you tear tape off a plastic surface.  I've never seen it damage a film.

I've noticed something strange when I roll some films for developping .
When I tear the green sticker , attaching the end of film to the reel ,
it flashes a little bit , just like a short spark . 
Weird and scary for the emulsion !
Anyone noticed the same ?
