A slide mount has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes an interior region, an edge, and a slot extending from the interior region to the edge. A cavity is formed between the first portion and the second portion, and extends to the first edge, with a film segment in the cavity extracted therefrom by a film extraction system. The film extraction system includes a piston for disengaging a latch mechanism from the film segment. An extractor arm enters the slot to engage a second perforation in the film segment, and slidably moves within the slot to move the film segment through and out of the cavity toward a roller. The film extraction system operates with the slide mount according to a method including the steps of: extending the piston into a locking aperture in the slide mount; disengaging a latch end from a first perforation in the film segment; extending the extractor arm into the extraction slot; engaging a second perforation in the film segment with the extractor arm; and moving the extractor arm through extraction slot to move the film segment out of the cavity.
