A film format is a technical definition of a set of standard characteristics regarding image capture on photographic film, for either stills or movies. It can also apply to projected film, either slides or movies. The primary characteristic of a film format is its size and shape.

In the case of motion picture film, the format may also include audio parameters (though often not). Other characteristics usually include the film gauge, pulldown method, lens anamorphosis (or lack thereof), and film gate or projector aperture dimensions, all of which need to be defined for photography as well as projection, as they may differ.

where can you buy 126, 110 and disc film formats these days?

A. All the above answers are excellent - I'll just add that you want to be careful what you buy. If the film stock has been stored poorly, subject to heat, excess cold or humidity it may be ruined. Just don't get tempted to buy a load and get lumbered with bad / redundant stock... check it out first if you can, especially if you're buying in bulk and it's out of date - get some kind of a guarantee if possible. Good luck!
