    1. @piffeyMar 2022· in “Kodak factory tour: How does Kodak make film? [video]”

      The Ilford factory video is a fun watch: this video There are also a few new film producers coming around. Film Ferrania ( [LINK] ) I'm most excited about as it's the first new analog film factory built. You can see a full list of current film producers and film stocks here: [LINK]

      On the topic of film, this little short video "Behind the Film - Inside the ILFORD factory" is cool - this video They also have a lab that do b&w prints from digital files on photo paper interestingly.
