Instant Dreams

Streaming video - 2017

Instant film production came to a halt after Polaroid shut down in 2008, but a group of engineers are trying to recreate the lost formula behind instant film. The documentary follows three people with a deep love for Polaroid and along with archival footage delves into the chemistry, artistry and history behind this technological behemoth of the 20th century. Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the **Slamdance Film Festival** and **San Francisco Docfest**. *"Willem Baptist offers a visually dazzling nostalgia trip for lovers of analogue as he charts the rise and fall of the Polaroid photo." - Glenn Dunks, **The Film Experience***
