Impossible: A New Polaroid Film

Video DIDN’T kill the radio star and digital photography doesn’t seem to kill analog film! Reading last weekend’s Guardian.co.uk article Elegy for the Polaroid describing the auction house sales of celebrity photographer polaroids from the 2008 collapsed Polaroid Corporation, my nephew Will pointed me in the direction of Impossible, the next generation of Polaroid film.

In October 2008 The Impossible Project saved the last Polaroid production plant for Integral Instant film in Enschede (NL) and started to re-invent and re-produce a new instant film for traditional Polaroid Cameras. Following in the footsteps of founder Edwin Land, the inventor of the Polaroid technology, introduced their monochrome film series as the posted images represent.

Reading the most recent press release, The Impossible Project will be launching a color film series. Visit the website to learn more about the renaissance!
