The Legendary
Large Format Film
For decades the factory in Enschede was specialized in exclusively producing instant integral film for the most popular Polaroid camera models - SX 70, 600, Image/Spectra, 1200. Hence the main focus of the Impossible Project was set on producing a new integral instant film and not on the comeback of peel-apart formats. But as we are also deeply in love with the legendary, large peel-apart film formats, and as so many artists are asking for this film type in order to continue their professional and unique work, we are eager to raise all our power and knowledge to make the impossible possible. Cross your fingers for:
Saving Another
Legend
Impossible saved the last intact production machinery for the legendary 8x10 inch film format and shipped it from the USA to the Impossible factory in Enschede (NL) in late 2009.
We carefully re-located this unique equipment from Waltham near Boston to the Impossible factory, where the 8x10 production machinery is now set up. As soon as we have reached our primary goal - to have production of the new PX integral film formats running smoothly - we will do our very best to bring back this wonderful and unique large format material. Please stay tuned.
A Beginning
In September 2010 we re-started the pod production machinery for the very first time. We did so in order to fill our latest Silver and Color Shade chemistry into these pods. We did then tape these pods together in order to produce large 20x24 integral instant photos with the legendary 20x24 inch Polaroid camera. The results were stunning and are a good sign as well as inspiration regarding the upcoming and scheduled production of 8x10 inch film within 2012. Stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed!
