Zusammenfassung:	Ozaphan was a proprietary material devised for inexpensive motion-picture film prints sold to the home market. Developed in France in the 1920s, the stock printed silent motion pictures on cellophane. In the early 1930s, Ozaphan film was introduced in Germany on a large scale for educational purposes, as well as home entertainment. The production and selling of Ozaphan films started in 1931 and ended in the mid-1960s. This essay tracks the history of this little-known film material and discusses its material properties. The production and distribution of Ozaphan films was a collaboration among Germany's film equipment manufacturers, toy industry, and commercial motion picture industry.
