IMPOSSIBLE: A Look at the Complex Chemistry of Instant Film

Though many may consider it obsolete, analog film is alive and well — despite the existence of digital photography and video — thanks to enthusiasts and efforts from the likes of IMPOSSIBLE.

Featuring insights from IMPOSSIBLE’s own Stephen Herchen, the piece highlights the complex chemistry that goes into producing analog instant film — something IMPOSSIBLE had to completely reinvent when it saved the very last Polaroid factory back in 2008.
