Instant photography won't die

Since Polaroid stopped the production of instant films 2008 - the Polaroid photographers society was yelling. Now the good news: Ilford restarts the production of analouge integral films for vintage Ploaroid cameras in 2010. The rescue endevour was called The Impossible Projekt.
Impossible? Well because the Impossible b.v. team has to reinvent the film. The original parts of the films are based on a 40 year old technology. Some of the suppliers stopped their production of single parts, which has to be replaced by state of the art technology. Now Impossible b.v. has to fix 7 problems to restart the mass production 2010. They invite all interested people for participation to solve the problems.
