Applications
Father Martin — Rev. Joseph C. Martin — was a Catholic priest and one of the most influential figures in 20th-century addiction recovery education. His lectures and films, produced through Father Martin Associates in Aberdeen, Maryland, were widely used from the 1970s through the 1990s in hospital treatment programs, Alcoholics Anonymous groups, rehabilitation centers, correctional facilities, churches, and schools. Symptoms of Sobriety was among his most distributed works, aimed at helping individuals and counselors recognize the behavioral and psychological signs of recovery. 16mm prints like this one were the standard format for institutional screening before the widespread adoption of VHS and later DVD; many organizations maintained dedicated 16mm projectors specifically for this type of educational programming. Today, original 16mm prints of Father Martin's films are sought by collectors, archivists, recovery historians, and institutions with historical ties to his work.
Father Martin's Symptoms of Sobriety 16mm film reel is being sold as-is. We do not have a 16mm projector on hand to screen it, so the film has not been checked for playback quality, splices, or damage. The plastic reel and canister are intact and appear to be in fair used condition with general surface wear visible on the canister lid. The label on the canister is present and legible, identifying the title, publisher, and copyright information. Because playback cannot be confirmed, buyers should inspect and test the film on their own equipment before use. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
