'''Anamorphic 16mm''' prints have an aspect ratio of 2.66:1 (because of the native 1.33 aspect ratio of the frame). Note that this means that anamorphic 16mm reductions of films originally released as 35mm anamorphic will be cropped slightly at the top and bottom of the frame! | '''Anamorphic 16mm''' prints have an aspect ratio of 2.66:1 (because of the native 1.33 aspect ratio of the frame).

Some films, for example ''Love's Refrain''' (2016, Paul Clipson), are natively anamorphic 16mm. | |||

Some 16mm experimental films achieve an ultra-wide screen ratio by projecting two 16mm images side by side with two different projectors. This is referred to as '''double''' or '''dual projection'''. Works that are projected this way are sometimes referred to as '''dual channel''' or '''two channel''' works, if they involve two reels of film being projected though two projectors. Works that require a single reel of film to be projected through two projectors at once (using a method similar to [[Interlocking|interlocking]] may be described differently: for example, ''Genesis 38: 14-15'' by filmmaker Ayanna Dozier is described by the artist as a '''single loop, dual projected''' work. | Some 16mm experimental films achieve an ultra-wide screen ratio by projecting two 16mm images side by side with two different projectors.
