Still mourning the loss of Polaroid Instant film whilst bemoaning the cost of buying the last bits of leftover stock?

Well mourn no longer, for the Impossible Project seem to have saved analog instant photography.

The Impossible Project started in October 2008 at the last preserved Polaroid plant in Enschede in the Netherlands, with the aim of rescuing instant photography from extinction.

After 17 months of research and development, The Impossible Project has now succeeded in its task of reproducing a new analog instant film for traditional Polaroid cameras. Containing more than 30 newly developed components, Impossible have introduced a new, monochrome Instant Film - the PX 100 and PX 600 Silver Shade, supported by Ilford Photo, UK.

Apparently this new film is an improvement too - offering a new range of possibilities, fresh characteristics and results compared to traditional Polaroid film, plus they've also launched a great website full of fascinating projects.

You can watch their launch movie here.

The new film will be available online on their website from tomorrow onwards (walk, don't run people), and thereafter at selected premium retail partners all over the world.

We bet this guy is very happy.
