We posted The Impossible Project a while back, a project whose mission is to revive instant film after Polaroid ceased production a couple years ago.
The old process was too antiquated and cost-prohibitive to be continued, so The Impossible Project took on the challenge to reinvent and streamline the chemical process. Apparently ‘impossible’ was a strong word, because as of this week, instant film is back.
The Impossible Project will be releasing their first instant film this Thursday, March 25. The PX100 or PX600 monochromatic films will work in Polaroid SX-70 and 600 cameras, respectively. A packet of 8 films will run you $21 for the initial ‘first flush’ edition. TIP plans on releasing a total of 6 different films in 2010, including color!
To learn more about this film, read up on it and all it’s idiosyncrasies.
There’s also a nice video on the homepage, which I am unable to embed here.

Although I’m not a polaroid-er its cool to see this up and running. Nice packaging to boot.

This is fantastic news! I can’t imagine the investment of both time and money that this has taken and I’m thrilled I’ll be able to continue using my Polaroid SX-70 to make art. $21.00 for 8 small canvases onto which I can paint with light is not a lot to pay.
