'''Foil cues''' are short strips of adhesive foil attached to the edge of a projection print. They are used to facilitate auditorium and projection booth automation, and were historically common in a [[multiplex]] setting. Today their primary use is in museum and gallery settings, where they may be used as part of a semi-automated film installation. | '''Foil cues''' are short strips of adhesive foil attached to the edge of a projection print.
