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.

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 ?
