Film Ferrania has just released its first update for 2018 - and it is a doozy. First things first, on Thursday, January 25th, the Ferrania Shop will open at noon Eastern in the United States and Canada. The shop will sell B&W P30 film. It is not clear if that will be 35mm cassettes or 120 roll film.
Why 120 roll film? The second part of the announcement is that production of 35mm film is capped by production bottlenecks. So, Film Ferrania will be installing equipment to make production of film more efficient. The 120 format film is the easiest to produce and package, so they will do that first.
Then, in late 2018, the company will attempt to formulate colour reversal film, the film that the Kickstarter campaign promised as rewards back in 2014.
So far, so good. In fact, this is great news for 2018! Now if only we could hear from Silberra and how their production is rolling....
