No Longer Impossible…?

Very interesting  article on the BJP website today, exciting news from the Netherlands!!

The Impossible Project and their UK-based partners Harman Technology (owners of the Ilford film brand) have announced that they’ve produced and tested the first run of a new black and white integral film – and while it doesn’t quite work as they’ve planned (has sepia tones apparently – which actually sounds quite cool!) it’s still a major step forward on their quest.

And as if all of that weren’t enough they’re also now planning to ressurect the 8×10 Polaroid format as well!!

And in related news, Impossible has also partnered up with clothes retailer Urban Outfitters – who are going to start stocking Polaroid Type 779 film and ONE600 Classic instant cameras in their UK and US stores.  I think that counts as somewhat of a result!

It really seems as though their mission has captured the imagination of a new generation :)
