Humans are analogue! We’re literally sick of the digital world engulfing us. People are yearning for real things and authenticty.

WHAT A SOUNDTRACK!! Fantastic throughout!! (still getting thorugh the doc, this is just my first comment, lol)
Your resentments are killing this planet! We should all be digitized. May the EU introduce appropriate directives against such reactionaries.
Title is in german but the video is not. This is confusing.
Sorry to say, but this is total nonsense. You're right at the start of this video that we spent too much time on smartphones etc., but you only solve that by simply spending less time on your smartphone and not by going back to analogue sound and film technique.
Digital sound and photo technique are two of the best developments of the last 50 years or so, throwing that out of the window is useless and doesn't cure anyone from their smartphone addiction. Speaking for myself: if I'm out photographing or at home listening to music, both digitally, I enjoy that every bit as much as back in the analogue days, well…more actually because of the superior sound and image quality. I don't see why that's not 'the real thing'.
Beautiful documentary. Thank you for making this.
I do not speak German… Is there a version with English ST ? Thanks, wonderful documentary.
Thousand of hipsters are happy thanks to one man who believe in a dream but nobody invite to celebrate It.
Working on bringing my almost antique Pentax back to life for Burning Man – I bought it used 30 years ago.
How much did his dad buy the polaroid name for to get his son a job?
Great documentary!
enjoying the music in the documentary very much; thanks. as for analog vs digital , speaking of music , do I really need a proof of appreciating music or making music via some spinning plastic round? interesting point to consider <smile>.
amazing, love this.
I am a photographer and I found that most of my photos, even the most beautiful ones, go to storage in some cloud and I almost never see them. And because I participated in a photography contest, I had to print the photos. Then I found out that there is a photo shop near my house with an old printer that uses old photo paper and you can literally smell the photos and it brought me back to the nineties at once.
In addition, I am Jewish and I try not to use the computer on Shabbat. So I want to bring back those times when I would sit with my family and flip through old photos
i've spent years and years trying to find the ultimate calendar-planning-and-note-taking tool to conquer my inability to get my life organised. a few years back – disillusioned by yet another app – i bought an empty notebook, a black ballpoint pen and a gray text marker. my minimalist bullet journal saved my life, and not only in a figuratively speaking way. i understand now why i often prefer the manual over the mechanised, over the electrified, over the computerised … it's because of the different senses it triggers. i really enjoyed watching this film.
Does anyone know the artist on opening song “I’m a Fool to Want You”? Thank you
I took me many years to just admit to myself that vinyl doesn't actually sound better. It's the ritual of crate rummaging and that wonderful large artwork that LP's have which is the catch.
This video is alot worse than I thought it would be…
Superb. Heartening. Loved every second.
Bring back the Magicube.
I can’t express enough gratitude for this inspiring documentary. As a filmmaker who started with film and transitioned to digital, and as a father of four children born in the digital era, I felt a deep sense of nostalgia and connection. I consider myself an “analog man,” and my journey mirrors the doc’s in many ways. Sending my best wishes to Doc and congratulations to the dreamers behind The Impossible Project and the entire film crew for bringing us this incredible testament filled with soul and substance. Thank you all for reminding us of the beauty of analog. 🙏
I think Neil Young said it best when asked about what he thought about analog versus digital. He said something along these lines.
"Analog is like a bucket of warm water being poured slowly over your head. Digital is the same bucket, same water, except this time it's ice cubes".
At night I spend several hours watching utube videos because: 1) they are entertaining and informative; 2) I don't watch tv; 3) I have nobody to talk to.
How I miss my Mamiya camera: manually operated lens, light measurement pushing the roll shifter, taking the photo and move the film to the next frame. Absolutely the best pictures I took in my life.
39:19 Das geht gar nicht. Der Film beschwört Reinheit, Liebe und Sinnlichkeit und dann diese mittelalterliche Brutalität. Niemand benötigt Tierprodukte. Man schlachtet keine wehrlosen Tiere ab! Denkt nach, verdammt nochmal, und lebt vegan!
This is not “a sensual and inspiring movie about the revenge of the analog world”. It's a story of a disease, or rather a story of a psychiatric disease….. but shit happens, and unfortunately anyone can go crazy just like what happened to the author of this video. This narrative has absolutely nothing to do with reality.
And what's funny, this video was created and edited on digital editing systems – computers, posted on a digital video site, on a completely digital internet 😁 but the author is alas already blind, and is not able to perceive reality.
A very enjoyable thought provoking documentary. One of my hobbies is photography and from staring with a Zenith E, I owned many Nikon professional 35mm and digital cameras. Having recently been shooting 35mm film on a Nikon F3, picking up my state of art Nikon Z9 last week made me realise how the whole experience is more immersive and satisfying using an analogue camera.
A wonderful movie! I’m so glad that there are people like this!
The film is great but the Chinese title + subtitles are terrible!
thanks to the digital world, or I wouldn't have had the chance to watch this film.
Who is singing the opening song?
no English subtitles for German here ;c
hermoso documental, me encanta las cosas analógicas , lo físico.
a friend sent this to me and i absolutely loved it. Doc is so inspiring. thank you for telling this story, i had no idea!
I needed this. I’ve been stuck for years… coincidentally ever since my transition to digital and never seeming able to keep up.
I kept all my analogue cameras, record players, typewriters… sitting in plies needing to be refurbished. This documentary made me cry but also inspire me to take a step back and revisit mostly analogue creative outlets.
Thank you for making / sharing.
The subtitles from english are worse than Google Translate, and from German – where we needed them – nonexistent. Thanks for nothing! 😂
1:34:56 vinyl records declined by 35% at the time this video is posted (Q4 2024) 👍🏿
Also the title should've been: Revenge of the Capitalism! How a guy bought his way into Polaroid with daddy's money, while kicking out the guy who made it happen.
Neat doco! Ah the dreamer, we need them.
Personally I do not miss film. However I totally get the fascination of the film look.. The aesthetic is fascinating to me too..
In my entire life I used not even 10 foto film rolls. Just because it was expensive, the development was expensive and it was a different time. Today (young?) people live almost avatar lives. When they dont post it on the internet, it did not happen. They cant enjoy doing anything without needing to document it. That is just my personal opinion.
My first digital camera I got in 2005 or 2006. It was back then a groundbreaking slim and small model: Casio Exilim card and suddenly I could put that in my pocket and I could make pictures everywhere. I still have all these 3MP pictures saved on my harddrive and on backups.
The vintage retro hype now is a double egged sword, because it made that hobby for me much more expensive. Luckily I got my cameras many years ago, when nobody cared. This hype is also only happening because of the Avatar lives started by influencers.. Without the need or the addiction to put everything online there would not be such a hype.
So this craving for "nostalgic fotos" IMo is much deeper then only the fascination for film. It is trying to make the Avatar life addiction somehow more "meaningful" by making them more difficult to do. For example with older cameras, or with film. It is also more expensive, so more valuable. But in the end it is nothing else but feeding the online addiction and the need to document your life to create your avatar life.
It is all linked to social media..
The vinyl trend is different. Same with laser disc, or even DVD and Blu-ray. That has more to do with collecting and the companies happily deliver that market. Almost everything gets re-released on vinyl, on 4k limited editions and they make great profit with that fan base.
This all is a super interesting subject. However I think that the obsession of posting your personal life on the internet, and for that reason foto and video got so much more important gets overlooked.. There will also be an opposite trend happening one day. The offline trend.
Tutto bello ma indietro non si torna 🤷♂🤷♂
Doc, u need a new wife lol, what a character, a true visionary. Wonderful doc-umentary 😎
Fabulous documentary ✨
