WE WILL MAKE PACKFILM: UPDATE

25 April, 2016, Boston, MA: 

Our initial post regarding Packfilm has resonated with many people around the world and we are very happy to see an active and vibrant community reaction to this post.

We have decided to dedicate this page on our website, and turn in into a kind of blog, for updates and info. Of course, the best way to say on top of things is to follow us on facebook.

At this point, there are no numbers and no techno babble to bore or delight with, except to reiterate our commitment to this project with a deep understanding of the size of the undertaking and challenge. Wheels are turning, balls are rolling and connections and contacts are forming in all the right places.

One thing we can share, is that we have been actively discussing Packfilm for more then 6 months, as part of our connection with French film and paper maker Bergger, which is already utilizing cutting-edge technologies to make Pancro 400, the worlds newest BW film. Using 21st century technologies and manufacturing techniques enables a viable and sustainable production of photographic film in the digital age, which we envision will be part of the future of Packfilm.

If we can borrow something from 'The Prodigy' circa 1997:

 

WE DO NOT HAVE NEW PACKFILM
WE WILL HAVE SOME SOON
BUY OTHER THINGS FOR NOW

We are all in this together. For anyone who asks “how can I help now?” we say:
Buy fresh film. Buy more instant film. Support the industry today.

CatLABS will make PACKFILM!

23 April, 2016, Boston, MA:

CatLABS is positioned to start working on recreating a sustainable and financially viable production of packfilm right now.

Following a final announcement from Fujifilm on April 21, 2016, that they will not be making packfilm, no matter what, we have decided to take this on.

We have the experience, knowledge and history to back this up.

We do not yet have specifics or details for you - stay tuned for more on this.
