Trailer for TIME ZERO: the last year of Polaroid film

In February 2008, Polaroid announced that it was ceasing production of instant film. 'TIME ZERO' is a documentary that tells the story of the last year of Polaroid film in three acts. Act I introduces the magic of Polaroid through the perspective of Polaroid artists and former employees of the corporation. Act II begins with the discontinuation of instant film and covers the grass-roots movement to keep it alive. Act III centers on 'The Impossible Project' and follows their against-the-odds effort to reinvent instant film.

Hi, I watched this video and it's extremely exciting! I am Chinese and I love Polaroid. I want to reblog this video and let more people know about this. I want to translate it to Chinese. However, plz forgive me, there is one word I can't understand. If you could, plz correct me:" I think polaroid was made of magic, with, uh, little tiny, little ? (this word I don't get it) that live in the camera. I dont know where they get food, or how they breathing there, but, uh, but I thank them. "

Will there be any DVDs of this film available in the future? I would love to have this in my collection, not to mention how it could help me to explain my fascination with analog instant cameras to all of the people around me who simply don't understand, despite my best efforts to make some sense of it. How about streaming online somewhere? I just want to see it in it's entirety and rarely have time to try to catch a screening.

Can I help set up a screening in Minneapolis?
