Why not go all out and make an X-ray projector?  If you manage to make
it tight-beam, you'll be able to completely blacken the film (probably
even the whole roll, to the delight of everyone else that day).  Of
course, X-rays are sufficiently dangerous that you might hurt the
operators if you go by them very often.

Come to think of it, a CO2 laser of sufficient power could do some
pretty good damage, too, and is also invisible.  But now we're getting
into SDI-style defenses...
