An improved film carrier assembly for selectively retaining a film strip therein which is especially suited for use in apartment, hospital and office building directories. The film carrier assembly comprises an elongated panel having a generally rectangular opening disposed therethrough, a groove extending along the length of the top of the panel and a tongue member extending along the bottom of the panel. The groove and the tongue members are arranged and configured on the panel such that additional panels can be selectively coupled thereto in an interlocking and substantially light-tight tongue and groove configuration. A film strip with a name or other information disposed thereon is inserted into the film carrier assembly, and the assembly is placed in a light-containing case. As the light proceeds through the film, the information disposed on the film becomes readily apparent to the viewer. By use of the film carrier assembly of the present invention, the information on the film is clearly indicated and produces a visually pleasing effect. Moreover, the film is securely held in position, but may be easily removed and replaced.
