You should try it this way:
REMOVING THE FILM FROM THE REELCopied from:
To remove the film from the reel, arch the free end by bending the two edges together slightly.
Pull gently on the free end, allowing the reel to rotate on the other hand,
and the whole length of film will run easily out of the reel as it rotates.
The film should then be clipped or pinned up to dry.
