Saw this oddity on a wild film-loop projector when I was in Junior high school. If anyone remember's these (I remember them from the 1970's) they were the film equivalent of the 8-track tapeL: an endless loop of 8mm film (probably only 50 feet or so of film) in an odd chunky cartridge that you slammed into a small projector.

I guess they were the analog version of TikTok.

(Edit: appears they were called "Magi-Cartridge": https://youtu.be/tEshEHC78no?si=SaJk9aLkNUJpm-XK)
