It has been taking a bit longer for some films to arrive because of the process of digitizing the films. The longest I have had to wait is 3 months. If they do not have a copy of the film to send out they have to get the film from the vault and make a copy which takes time. If it has been several months since ordering I would check with the local FHC.

Did you send money? I don't think they will look without payment, name, date, and freguesia. Sometime institutions will become tired of genealogists and refuse to help any of them. Whether that is in your location, mine, or the Azores. I wouldn't be insistent, as you said, but if you did not include any money, then include it as ask if they are now able to fulfill your request. I don't know where you live or why your FHC films take a year. You need to ask the director at your FHC why it takes so long. I haven't ordered film in a while, but I think it took about 4-6 weeks for a film to come from Utah to CA, where I live.
