Save Pack Film

The call to Save Pack Film has been raised! As you may already know, Fuji is shutting down production of the last two-part instant film, FP-100C. Florian “Doc” Kaps, the founder of the Impossible Project, who has since left to start SUPERSENSE - a cafe, store, studio, workshop and palace where 20x24 instant Polaroids are made - has travelled to Tokyo to meet the CEO of FujiFilm. Since then, he has sent a letter to the CEO, which apparently was well received.

After much reflection and many suggestions, "Doc" has a project sure to capture the eye of Fuji - an adventure of selfies on packfilm. He asks you to "NOW, please share your packfilm self portrait on Instagram, Twitter or Flickr with the #wesavepackfilm hashtag."

It may be possible that the 3000 speed packfilm will be saved, also. If the combined forces of the Impossible Project, FILM Ferrania, Lomography and New55 can't do the job, you can also petition at Change.org.

Good things come to those who wait, hopefully a response will be had by the time this article is published....
