In October 2008, the
Impossible Project saved the last Polaroid production plant for Integral Instant film in Enschede (The Netherlands) and started to re-invent and re-produce a new instant film for traditional Polaroid Cameras.
The famous Polaroid instant film ceased to exist. But since Polaroid photography was still hugely popular the Impossible Project decided to try and develop a new kind of film, which could be used in the classic Polaroid cameras. Due to the fact that the original Polaroid colour dyes are not available anymore and there is no possibility to reproduce them, the Impossible Project had to start from scratch. It currently offers a black and white and a colour film, which can be purchased online.
The Impossible Project would like you to read the

The factory and laboratory are situated in Enschede (NL), the main office in Vienne (AT).
