As to how to get unexposed but developed slide film, just send in a roll to your favorite slide film processor with instructions that you want it developed but not cut.

My experiments with slide film showed that I only needed one layer of it to cut out nearly all visible light.  I don’t remember what brand of slide film I used though, your milage may vary.
