A film cartridge comprising a filmstrip having longitudinally successive perforations, and a housing for the filmstrip having a film passage slit through which the filmstrip can be moved into or out of the housing, is characterized by a reciprocatingly movable indicator, including an actuator pawl positioned for engagement and disengagement with each perforation of the filmstrip as the filmstrip is moved through the slit to move the indicator forward and backward alternately for providing a visible motion-indication that the filmstrip is moving through the slit.
