The film cassette comprising the usual delivery chamber and take-up chamber for a film provided with a feed perforation and a bridge which connects the two chambers. A feed slot in said bridge extends in the travel direction of the film, a lateral edge of the feed slot having an offset in the end of the slot directed towards the take-up chamber. In this manner, the feed claw of the camera has to perform a lateral movement to effect unlocking of the shutter release mechanism or locking of a further cocking and film transport operation.
