A glossary of common words and technical terminology used by projectionists and film exhibitors — in many languages.

This glossary is intended to help anyone searching for information about analog film projection and exhibition locate resources in non-English languages. It was created to support keyword searches used in developing the Analog Film Exhibitors Directory.

Disclaimer: This list may contain inaccuracies - Sprocket School editors are mainly native English speakers and are creating it based on internet research, words on film leader and film can labels, and conversations with other projectionists.
