    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a film comprising microfibrillated cellulose, which comprises: providing a suspension comprising 30-100 weight-% microfibrillated cellulose based on total dry weight; forming a wet web of said suspension by casting on a support being a non-porous support, paper or paperboard; wet-pressing said wet web to form a dewatered web, which comprises applying a press fabric into direct contact with said wet web and conducting said wet web, arranged between said press fabric and said non-porous support, through a pressing equipment; smoothening said dewatered web by applying at least one smoothing press to said dewatered web arranged on said non-porous support so as to form a smoothened web, wherein a pressure of 0.1-25 MPa is applied in each smoothing press, wherein said dewatered web has a dry content of 20-60% by weight when applying said smoothing press(es), and drying said smoothened web to form said film. The invention further relates to a film.
