FILM Ferrania - Film for the Next 100 Years

The FILM Ferrania project has successfully completed its Kickstarter campaign and will soon be producing film in Italy once again. The project hopes to reclaim and rebuild the Ferrania film plant to produce colour reversal film into the next century.

When the big film producers can no longer profitably manufacture film, the Ferrania project hopes to be there to fill in the gap. There are currently only 4 plants in the world that are capable of producing film, the Italian plant is one of them. The film produced will be a modified version of the ScotchChrome film as produced by 3M at the Ferrania plant in the past. Both 35mm and 120 format slide films will be produced, in addition to cine film.

The FILM Ferrania project will produce movie film in Super 8 format and in 16mm format. Super 8 film still has a following today, producing a sought after look.
