@slowtiger thanks, emailed her.
haven't thought that there could be some electricity in the process, how would static electricity work on a stationary roll of film?
i've heard about some static electricity on some films when shooting, that cause some exposure errors from sparkles

@nosfe I have no idea, other than a length of film I own which has little flashes from edge to middle which definiteyly look like electric charges. Here's a frame with enhanced contrast.

@nosfe In any case the most baffling thing is the directionality of it. In "A new kind of science" by Stephen Wolfram there are several examples of cellular automata creating similar patterns, line by line. But what creates the lines here is a mystery. If film is wedged between rubber lips they can vibrate and may form a pattern of fluid lines? These may dry and form the grid along which something else grows? But I'm just speculating.
