Celluloid is the plastic material from which motion pictures were historically made. With the omni-presence of digital capture and projection we may forget that this industry which exploded onto our culture at the beginning of the 20th Century was almost entirely based on the exposure and subsequent distribution of celluloid. The British band, The Kinks, epic song "Celluloid Heroes", captured so much of the desire to 'be Hollywood "I wish my life was anon-stop Hollywood movie show...". More importantly they draw on an earlier insight from Shakespeare - "All the world is a stage and we are but players."
