3,200 rolls of undeveloped film.

That’s amazing. There will be some stories on those films. Would make a great book series too.
 
That’s quite a story.
 
I opened a thread on the same topic in Talk Photography, but it was closed. OK, I guess we're not supposed to discuss photography, so here's the question that goes with it:

How do you develop film that was exposed decades ago? In this case it seems to be a bit easier, as it seems to be exclusively B/W film. In any case, I didn't see any colour photos in the linked article.

Rescue Film will do that. I wonder if $40,000 could be enough for that. Maybe so, after all, the project is also good publicity.

I was shocked at the money they were trying to raise even for 3,200 rolls but maybe that's what it costs. I just don't know.

It was a duplicate thread, that was closed with a redirect, as this one had more posts, and people that inhabit F&C rarely look elsewhere.
Nothing to do discussing photography, or with asking questions, both of which are to be encouraged BTW.

Possible (but a bit improbable?) that they might be aiming to resurrect Kodachrome's soups and those for the E4 but even then, $10 per film seems a bit steep!
 
Oops, I overlooked the thing about Kodachrome and E4. I also thought it was impossible to develop Kodachrome films nowadays.
I develop B&W films myself, but I pay about €8 for a colour film, just for the development, and of course in my case no special treatment is needed, unlike the over-aged films.

OK, no problem after all. ;)
 
Just after the photo of Ronnie Wood playing a Les Paul is mention of them " We have done some test rolls with good results of the Kodachrome." but no mention of exactly when that was done.

It'll be interesting to see what any results are like if/when they get published.
 
I'd imagine each roll has to be assessed individually. So the cost, particularly for the colour is going to be high.
