Provided is a method of manufacturing a film, including: applying, onto a substrate, a photocurable composition containing a polymerizable monomer, a photopolymerization initiator, and a photosensitive gas generator that generates a gas through light stimulation to form an applied film; bringing a mold into contact with the applied film; irradiating the applied film with light through the mold to cure the applied film and to generate the gas in the applied film; and releasing the mold from the applied film after the irradiation of the applied film with the light to form a film (cured film)having a predetermined pattern shape on the substrate, in which in the irradiation of the applied film with the light, a reaction rate of a polymerization reaction of the polymerizable monomer in the applied film is higher than a reaction rate of a gas-generating reaction of the photosensitive gas generator in the applied film. |
