Save the Polaroid

Exciting news!

Welcome to The Impossible Project!

A team of Polaroid geniuses in Enschede, The Netherlands has acquired a production building and all of the machinery required to produce integral instant film directly from Polaroid.  Their goal is to create a new analog integral film with new technology (and a new brand-name) for use in vintage Polaroid cameras.  Many of the materials and parts used in previously produced Polaroid integral films have become expensive or unavailable.  With a scaled down production facility and team, The Impossible Project hopes to find a new technology for integral film and begin production by 2010. Their film will serve a niche market with projections of producing 3 million films in the first year and 10 million films per year thereafter.   Andre Bosman, CEO and Head of Production, Florian Kaps, CMO and creator of Polanoid.net, and Marwan Saba, CFO, head the Impossible Project.  The team is comprised of experts in Polaroid production machinery, materials, chemistry and manufacturing.  They are giving themselves 12 months to complete the process of finding a new, cost-effective, and available technology for creating integral film.  Please offer your support, knowledge and expertise by visiting their website:  The Impossible Project.

“Don’t undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.”   -Edwin Land (founder and inventor of Polaroid)

Here’s hoping!
