Poladroid project | the easiest and funniest Polaroid Image Make. The Impossible Project. News - HARMAN technology Limited. Press Statement 19th January 2009 After the decision by Polaroid in 2008 to cease production of its instant films, a much-loved method of photography looked set to disappear forever.

However, leading photo-imaging company, HARMAN technology Limited can confirm it is now involved in a new venture which could deliver welcome news to millions of Polaroid instant camera fans across the world. The manufacturer - whose brands include the ILFORD analogue range, HARMAN PHOTO inkjet papers and KENTMERE PHOTOGRAPHIC - is supporting ‘The Impossible Project’ which is being spearheaded by a Dutch business known as Impossible b.v. Formed by a group of businessmen and a number of ex-Polaroid employees, Impossible b.v has signed a 10-year lease on part of Polaroid’s former factory in Enschede, Holland and acquired some of Polaroid’s original production machinery for producing 600, SX70 and Image films.

POLAPREMIUM - Welcome to the new home of Instant film. Features - Urban Outfitters + The Impossible. How did you get involved with the Impossible Project? Dave Bias: I founded SavePolaroid.com with a friend in February of 2008. At the same time, I had started emailing Doc [Dr. Florian Kaps, Impossible Project founder] because I felt like he was one of the few people on the planet who was positioned to do something about Polaroid. He had started Unsaleable, which sold Polaroid film and equipment, and he had been talking with people at Polaroid for years for various reasons—for the SX-70 Blend film and the TZ Artistic film, which were both made by Polaroid but only because Doc had lobbied to have them made. He actually visited each of the factories as they were closing down. When you started SavePolaroid, did you think you would end up playing a part in bringing this kind of technology back?
