'Instant Dreams': A New Documentary About the Fall and Rise of Polaroid Instant Film


'Instant Dreams' is the title for a documentary that follows individuals from all walks of life that still use Polaroid cameras and its instant film.


Instant Dreams is a feature documentary by Willem Baptist (Wild boar, I’m Never Afraid!) about the fascination and love for Polaroids. When Polaroid announced the end of instant film in 2008, the last still working factory was bought by a small group of enthusiasts. Among them is the retired scientist Stephen Herchen who previously collaborated with the inventor of Polaroid and is still trying to unravel the secret of the lost chemical formula.
