On the topic of film, this little short video "Behind the Film - Inside the ILFORD factory" is cool - [VIDEO] They also have a lab that do b&w prints from digital files on photo paper interestingly.
ILFORD still makes film. They have a tour of their factory on their YouTube channel: * [VIDEO] See also The Impossible Project, some folks who reverse engineered how to make Polaroid instant film: * [LINK] * [LINK]
The Ilford factory video is a fun watch: [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]
