An Impossible Project Film & Live Q&A
2021 / Subtitles available
Directed by: Jens Meurer
Humans are analogue. We’re literally sick of the digital world engulfing us. People are yearning for real things and authenticity. IMPOSSIBLE is sensuous and inspiring film about the revenge of analog. And the eccentric, crazy Austrian scientist, who saved the world’s last Polaroid factory – just when Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone. An entertaining underdog story of a very modern Don Quixote, shot on 35mm. And a sumptuous invitation to fall in love with real things again.

In the press
"Essential food for thought for anyone interested in culture and media and their development in the modern age."
Vladan Petkovik
Cineuropa
"Here is a documentary about the resurgent interest in retro culture that comes across like a warm fuzzy blanket of nostalgia for pre-Covid days"
Andrew Pulver
The Guardian
"An Impossible Project is an ingenious movie. Meurer has gone to extraordinary lengths to portray the man who saved Polaroid in a film that captures the casual, magical, slightly unreliable Polaroid feel."
