A series of still photographs or frames printed on a continuous strip of film, shown in sequence, often with accompanying audio or text.
Compound of 'film' (membrane) and 'strip' (from Middle Dutch strippe, a narrow piece). Created in the early 1900s as an educational technology.
Filmstrips represent a fascinating middle ground in media history—they're more sophisticated than static images but less demanding than full motion pictures, which made them perfect teaching tools before computers.
