Dear viewer,

00:00:20,584 --> 00:00:24,320
yes, you are spending too
many hours on your smartphone
3
00:00:24,355 --> 00:00:28,621
and on YouTube, Instagram
and deep down, you hate it.
4
00:00:28,656 --> 00:00:31,657
You keep saying you want
to do something about it.

Sure, we all do.

00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:36,827
This film is about
an alternative,

00:00:36,862 --> 00:00:39,698
going the other
way, digital detox.

00:00:39,733 --> 00:00:43,108

Today, the Eastman Kodak Company
13
00:01:18,145 --> 00:01:20,442
used explosives to
demolish two buildings
14
00:01:20,477 --> 00:01:23,346
following the move to
digital photography.
15
00:01:23,381 --> 00:01:24,743
Once a household name,
16
00:01:24,778 --> 00:01:25,811
Kodak is understood
17
00:01:25,846 --> 00:01:28,252
to have demolished more than
80 buildings on the site
18
00:01:28,287 --> 00:01:29,781
over the past 10 years
19
00:01:29,816 --> 00:01:32,652
and plans to demolish at
least 16 more by years end.
20
00:01:36,361 --> 00:01:37,657
Polaroid has closed factories
21
00:01:37,692 --> 00:01:40,693
in Massachusetts, Mexico
and the Netherlands.
22
00:01:40,728 --> 00:01:43,564
Job cuts include 150
positions to be eliminated
23
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:45,335
over the next couple of months.
24
00:01:45,370 --> 00:01:47,205
With a further 300
workers laid off in Mexico
25
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,866
and in the company's
headquarters
26
00:01:48,901 --> 00:01:51,506
in Enschede in the Netherlands.
27
00:01:51,541 --> 00:01:56,511
Today, we're introducing
an iPod, a phone
28
00:01:57,415 --> 00:01:59,151
and an internet communicator.
29
00:01:59,186 --> 00:02:00,581
This is one device.
30
00:02:04,422 --> 00:02:07,258
And we are calling it iPhone.
31
00:02:10,857 --> 00:02:12,230
The smartphone
changed everything
32
00:02:12,265 --> 00:02:13,462
when it came to photography.
33
00:02:13,497 --> 00:02:16,135
We take more photos now
than any time before.
34
00:02:17,864 --> 00:02:19,600
This is analog camera sales
35
00:02:19,635 --> 00:02:21,239
and they kind of peak in '99
36
00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:22,040
and then they start falling
37
00:02:22,075 --> 00:02:24,341
'cause digital
cameras get invented.
38
00:02:24,376 --> 00:02:26,640
And then digital takes
a huge step forward.
39
00:02:26,675 --> 00:02:29,247
There's more people taking
photos than ever before
40
00:02:29,282 --> 00:02:30,677
'cause more cameras
are out there.
41
00:02:30,712 --> 00:02:31,942
And then they fall, too.
42
00:02:31,977 --> 00:02:34,219
And they fall because
the smartphone gets there
43
00:02:34,254 --> 00:02:37,717
and the smartphone
really changes the game.

Analog was truly dead.
47
00:02:52,767 --> 00:02:57,506
Film, records, books, letters,
outdated, obsolete, gone.
48
00:03:03,382 --> 00:03:07,252
Iconic companies
were disappearing.
49
00:03:07,287 --> 00:03:12,290
Our future was digital,
easy, convenient, free.
50
00:03:13,326 --> 00:03:16,789
A brave new world was out
there and we couldn't wait.
51
00:03:16,824 --> 00:03:17,824
Or could we?
52
00:03:25,668 --> 00:03:28,339
In Vienna, I met
a man who thought,
53
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:30,803
this is all a big mistake.
54
00:03:30,838 --> 00:03:34,642
This is his impossible story.
55
00:03:41,420 --> 00:03:42,452
Whoa.
56
00:03:56,435 --> 00:03:58,435
Vienna is the most
analog city in the world
57
00:03:58,470 --> 00:04:01,537
and this place we created,
58
00:04:01,572 --> 00:04:04,309
we wanted to bring
all the machines
59
00:04:04,344 --> 00:04:08,379
and all these magic
treasures together,
60
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:10,645
new generation, old generation.
61
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,647
So people, customers,
62
00:04:12,682 --> 00:04:16,552
and most importantly also
investors can feel it.
63
00:04:16,587 --> 00:04:19,654
They cannot see it in
a PDF or in whatever.
64
00:04:19,689 --> 00:04:23,295
So one of our main weapons
65
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:27,431
to really destroy any concerns
of investors is this machine.
66
00:04:27,466 --> 00:04:29,664
It looks pretty ugly.
67
00:04:29,699 --> 00:04:32,865
It's this Spanish style but
68
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,441
when you select
your favorite vinyls
69
00:04:37,476 --> 00:04:40,510
and then you already
hear a magic sound.
70
00:04:48,553 --> 00:04:49,750
Investor's gonna cry,
71
00:04:49,785 --> 00:04:52,016

outside here and say,

00:04:52,051 --> 00:04:53,853

Doc, who is the Doc?
91
00:06:45,604 --> 00:06:46,504
Why are you Doc?
92
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:47,703
Where does the Doc come from?
93
00:06:48,904 --> 00:06:51,938
Yeah, somehow the
Doc is a leftover
94
00:06:51,973 --> 00:06:55,106
from my scientific studies.
95
00:06:55,141 --> 00:06:56,547
It was very easy.
96
00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:58,945
My parents didn't put
any pressure on me.
97
00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:03,521
They just said, "Whatever you
do, be the best doing it."
98
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:06,755
So, pretty soon I found out
99
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:09,087
that the only chance for myself
100
00:07:09,122 --> 00:07:10,957
being the best doing something
101
00:07:10,992 --> 00:07:13,960
is if I do things that
nobody else is doing.
102
00:07:13,995 --> 00:07:18,998
So I am the world's
most important
103
00:07:19,869 --> 00:07:21,935
spider eye muscle expert.
104
00:07:24,808 --> 00:07:27,677
My father always asked me,
"What is this all for?"
105
00:07:27,712 --> 00:07:32,715
And so basically the Doc is the
only outcome from back then.
106
00:07:33,517 --> 00:07:36,114
So this title I
carried on since then.
107
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:39,986
I always tried to look
at things differently.
108
00:07:40,021 --> 00:07:42,494
When everybody was
running in this direction,
109
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:44,628
I thought, hey, maybe it's cool
110
00:07:44,663 --> 00:07:45,871
to look in the other direction.
111
00:07:45,895 --> 00:07:47,994
60 centimeters.
112
00:07:52,803 --> 00:07:55,936
Oh yeah, that's good,
it start blinking.
113
00:07:55,971 --> 00:07:58,510
Again without
mineral, good sign.
114
00:08:05,816 --> 00:08:09,851
10 years ago, Doc
had found a new calling.
115
00:08:09,886 --> 00:08:13,723
While we were all salivating
over our first iPhone,
116
00:08:13,758 --> 00:08:16,792
Doc decided to resist.
117
00:08:16,827 --> 00:08:19,597
He became the self-appointed
118
00:08:19,632 --> 00:08:22,567
patron saint of
all things analog.
119
00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:27,605
Step one, he set up a venture
selling expired Polaroid film.
120
00:08:28,234 --> 00:08:31,301
It was called Unsalable.
121
00:08:31,336 --> 00:08:33,710
My theory is that the
biggest difference
122
00:08:33,745 --> 00:08:35,041
between digital and analog
123
00:08:35,076 --> 00:08:36,812
is the fact that digital
124
00:08:36,847 --> 00:08:39,947
always just tickles
two of your senses.
125
00:08:39,982 --> 00:08:42,884
It's always I can see
it, I can hear it,
126
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:44,886
but it's always behind
the glass screen.
127
00:08:44,921 --> 00:08:47,658
So I cannot really touch it,
128
00:08:47,693 --> 00:08:48,560
I cannot smell it,
129
00:08:48,595 --> 00:08:49,759
I cannot lick it.
130
00:08:49,794 --> 00:08:54,731
So it only, you know,
it's nothing real.
131
00:08:55,867 --> 00:08:58,768
And therefore the young generation, who
grew up digitally,
132
00:08:58,803 --> 00:09:01,573
there's so much longing
for this real thing
133
00:09:01,608 --> 00:09:03,905
they can touch, caress,
hold in their hand,
134
00:09:03,940 --> 00:09:05,709
that they can fully sense.
135
00:09:05,744 --> 00:09:06,908
It was the beginning
136
00:09:06,943 --> 00:09:10,307
of an unlikely
business adventure.
137
00:09:10,342 --> 00:09:11,342
You know,
138
00:09:13,015 --> 00:09:17,017
I often tell stories that
139
00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:21,153
are not 100% true,
140
00:09:21,188 --> 00:09:24,959
but this one really
is 150% true.
141
00:09:39,206 --> 00:09:43,340
Do you have your
Polaroid Colorpack Camera?
142
00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:46,948
In the '70s and '80s,
Polaroid was everywhere.
143
00:09:48,655 --> 00:09:53,053
And even today, we all recognize
that classic white frame
144
00:09:53,088 --> 00:09:55,022
of a Polaroid instant photo.
145
00:09:56,190 --> 00:09:59,928
But in 2008, the cultural icon
146
00:09:59,963 --> 00:10:03,393
was a mere shadow
of its former self.
147
00:10:03,428 --> 00:10:06,836
No one believed analog
photography had a future
148
00:10:06,871 --> 00:10:10,202
and all Polaroid factories
were being closed down.
149
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:27,153
All but this last one in
Enschede in The Netherlands.
150
00:10:28,089 --> 00:10:29,991
Once churning out
millions of packs of film,
151
00:10:31,027 --> 00:10:33,126
it was about to vanish.

158
00:11:23,145 --> 00:11:26,212
Doc had been invited
to the closing party.
159
00:11:26,247 --> 00:11:28,148
He couldn't resist.
160
00:11:28,183 --> 00:11:30,315
He knew little
about film chemistry
161
00:11:30,350 --> 00:11:33,417
and even less about
running a business,
162
00:11:33,452 --> 00:11:36,354
but he had a vision.
163
00:11:36,389 --> 00:11:39,258
This factory must be rescued.
164
00:11:39,293 --> 00:11:42,800
It was beautiful and important.
165
00:11:42,835 --> 00:11:46,903
What everyone else saw,
"Doc, that's impossible."
166
00:11:46,938 --> 00:11:49,939
My wife said, "Don't go
there, give up on it."
167
00:11:51,140 --> 00:11:54,273
But I went there and
you know, the machines,
168
00:11:54,308 --> 00:11:57,012
all of them were still
in perfect shape.
169
00:11:57,047 --> 00:12:01,918
So I said, "There
is still a chance.
170
00:12:01,953 --> 00:12:04,085
We have to try it."
171
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,791
So I went to the
Polaroid management say,
172
00:12:06,826 --> 00:12:08,353
"Do you really want to kill it
173
00:12:08,388 --> 00:12:10,828
or do you want to
give it for adoption
174
00:12:10,863 --> 00:12:12,489
and you know, we
take care of it?"
175
00:12:12,524 --> 00:12:14,227
So when Florian
came in and said,
176
00:12:14,262 --> 00:12:17,769
"I want to buy this film factory
in Enschede, Netherlands,
177
00:12:17,804 --> 00:12:19,969
don't wind it down",
178
00:12:20,004 --> 00:12:21,443
to the owners of
Polaroid corporation,
179
00:12:21,467 --> 00:12:22,873
it was a no-brainer to say,
180
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:24,281
"Sure, if you want
to take it over,
181
00:12:24,305 --> 00:12:26,206
it saves our wind down costs."
182
00:12:28,309 --> 00:12:31,112
The crazy thing is they
said, "You have one week.
183
00:12:31,147 --> 00:12:34,016
We have an agreed scrap
value of the factory parts
184
00:12:34,051 --> 00:12:35,820
for 180,000 Euro.
185
00:12:35,855 --> 00:12:37,415
So if you sign the agreement
186
00:12:37,450 --> 00:12:40,121
and transfer me
the 180,000 Euro,
187
00:12:40,156 --> 00:12:40,957
the factory is yours."
188
00:12:40,992 --> 00:12:43,025
So that was it.
189
00:12:43,962 --> 00:12:46,358
I didn't have the 180,000 Euro,
190
00:12:46,393 --> 00:12:48,558
but I immediately
started to make
191
00:12:48,593 --> 00:12:50,362
something like a business plan.
192
00:12:50,397 --> 00:12:52,397
They loved the business plan.
193
00:12:52,432 --> 00:12:55,400
Business plans was for
sure, one of my best,
194
00:12:59,208 --> 00:13:00,845
my best specialties.
195
00:13:02,343 --> 00:13:04,277
With a small group of friends,
196
00:13:04,312 --> 00:13:06,312
Doc bought the business.
197
00:13:06,347 --> 00:13:09,018
They were going to
keep Polaroid alive.
198
00:13:09,053 --> 00:13:11,350
It sounded crazy.
199
00:13:11,385 --> 00:13:15,387
A 1940's tech for
the 21st century?
200
00:13:16,357 --> 00:13:18,962
♪ Like a broken sail ♪
201
00:13:18,997 --> 00:13:20,590
♪ But I'll never give you up ♪
202
00:13:20,625 --> 00:13:22,933
♪ If I ever give you up ♪
203
00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:23,934
♪ My heart will surely ♪
204
00:13:23,969 --> 00:13:25,903
One of the many snags,
205
00:13:25,938 --> 00:13:29,269
Doc wasn't allowed to use
the brand name Polaroid
206
00:13:30,239 --> 00:13:31,436
but he soon found a new one.
207
00:13:33,011 --> 00:13:36,375
It was really literally
during a meeting with Polaroid
208
00:13:36,410 --> 00:13:38,542
where they continued to tell me,
209
00:13:38,577 --> 00:13:39,477
"This is impossible.
210
00:13:39,512 --> 00:13:40,478
This is impossible.
211
00:13:40,513 --> 00:13:41,380
This is impossible."
212
00:13:41,415 --> 00:13:45,351
So it was just,
213
00:13:47,124 --> 00:13:50,862
I gave up and said, "Yeah,
let's call it Impossible."
214
00:13:50,897 --> 00:13:55,559
So Polaroid was reborn
as The Impossible Project
215
00:13:55,594 --> 00:13:58,430
which would prove an
interesting choice of name.
216
00:13:59,499 --> 00:14:02,467
Nevermind, the
beginning was fabulous.
217
00:14:02,502 --> 00:14:05,844
Life was returning
to the factory.
218
00:14:08,442 --> 00:14:09,573
♪ You can swing ♪
219
00:14:09,608 --> 00:14:10,574
♪ You can fail ♪
220
00:14:10,609 --> 00:14:13,852
♪ You can blow my mind ♪
221
00:14:16,549 --> 00:14:17,922
In the beginning,
222
00:14:17,957 --> 00:14:20,584
we started with 10
people at the factory.
223
00:14:22,324 --> 00:14:25,061
It was really a hard year.
224
00:14:26,526 --> 00:14:29,164
Everybody thought
that it was impossible
225
00:14:29,199 --> 00:14:31,430
to get it all running
226
00:14:31,465 --> 00:14:34,037
and now, well here we are.
227
00:14:34,072 --> 00:14:36,468
Something already created
before I was born.
228
00:14:36,503 --> 00:14:37,568
That's amazing.
229
00:14:37,603 --> 00:14:40,637
And I am creating it now daily.
230
00:14:40,672 --> 00:14:41,672
That's wonderful.
231
00:15:14,541 --> 00:15:16,607
Doc took Impossible headquarters
232
00:15:16,642 --> 00:15:19,643
to Europe's startup
capital Berlin,
233
00:15:19,678 --> 00:15:23,581
where he found a team
of well digital natives
234
00:15:23,616 --> 00:15:26,958
who shared his belief
in the magic of analog
235
00:15:26,993 --> 00:15:31,655
or at least succumbed to
his unrelenting enthusiasm.
236
00:15:31,690 --> 00:15:33,558
I would love to say
that all of this
237
00:15:33,593 --> 00:15:36,693
was part of a very
clever strategy
238
00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:40,664
based on my extended
studies in business.
239
00:15:40,699 --> 00:15:43,271
It's not quite
true to be honest.
240
00:15:43,306 --> 00:15:46,472
Basically it just happened.
241
00:15:46,507 --> 00:15:48,243
This wasn't nostalgia.
242
00:15:48,278 --> 00:15:52,049
This was about rediscovering
the value of real things,
243
00:15:52,084 --> 00:15:53,710
authenticity.
244
00:15:53,745 --> 00:15:55,613
A good way to just look
245
00:15:55,648 --> 00:15:59,254
and in order to understand
why Impossible exists
246
00:15:59,289 --> 00:16:02,389
let's go back into the year 1946
247
00:16:02,424 --> 00:16:04,622
when a guy called Edwin Land,
248
00:16:04,657 --> 00:16:07,724
who was an incredible
inventor and visionary,
249
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,431
thought about the beginning
of instant photography.
250
00:16:11,466 --> 00:16:14,368
I look forward to the dream
251
00:16:14,403 --> 00:16:19,406
of being able to take a
wallet out of my pocket
252
00:16:20,277 --> 00:16:21,738
and perhaps open the wallet,
253
00:16:21,773 --> 00:16:24,378
press a button, close the wallet
254
00:16:24,413 --> 00:16:26,182
and have the picture.
255
00:16:26,217 --> 00:16:28,481
Grand machines for
a grand purpose.
256
00:16:29,352 --> 00:16:34,157

257
00:16:34,192 --> 00:16:39,195

♪ Do it good ♪
264
00:17:01,846 --> 00:17:03,065
From the beginning, it was clear
265
00:17:03,089 --> 00:17:05,155
that this is a magic material.
266
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:06,123
It's not a clone.
267
00:17:06,158 --> 00:17:07,487
You cannot print it 500 times
268
00:17:07,522 --> 00:17:09,588
with the right iconic frame.
269
00:17:09,623 --> 00:17:11,689
It was one of no other kind.
270
00:17:12,626 --> 00:17:14,065
Back in the days,
271
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:16,595
instant photography and
Polaroid was everywhere.

00:17:46,495 --> 00:17:48,495
Good morning everyone
from Impossible.
282
00:17:48,530 --> 00:17:50,596
We are now on our
way to Enschede
283
00:17:50,631 --> 00:17:52,103
to the film factory.
284
00:17:55,174 --> 00:17:56,206
We are twins.
285
00:17:57,605 --> 00:18:00,309
Am I doing the
talking all alone?
286
00:18:00,344 --> 00:18:01,344
No I can do it.
287
00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:07,184
The fascination of
a lost technology
288
00:18:07,219 --> 00:18:12,222
and the big challenge
to bring it back.
289
00:18:12,257 --> 00:18:15,654
And he told me about this
thing, you know, called sX70
290
00:18:15,689 --> 00:18:16,788
Fucking crazy.
291
00:18:16,824 --> 00:18:17,788
And he was like, "You know
it, you know it, you know it,
292
00:18:17,823 --> 00:18:19,163
it's so cool."
293
00:18:19,965 --> 00:18:21,407
I've never been to
the factory before
294
00:18:21,431 --> 00:18:23,629
so it's super new
experience for me.
295
00:18:23,664 --> 00:18:27,237
Doc saved the
factory from closure
296
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:29,140
and kept all the
sort of old machines
297
00:18:29,175 --> 00:18:30,867
and had to look at
the reformulation
298
00:18:30,902 --> 00:18:33,507
of the new films for Impossible.
299
00:18:33,542 --> 00:18:34,343
Oh look at this.
300
00:18:34,378 --> 00:18:35,905
Everything's painted.
301
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:37,874
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
302
00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:40,283
This is incredible.
303
00:18:40,318 --> 00:18:41,251
Hi.
304
00:18:41,286 --> 00:18:42,516
Hello.
305
00:18:42,551 --> 00:18:46,718
Oh, the godfather
of camera repair.
306
00:18:46,753 --> 00:18:48,588
This is like heaven.
307
00:18:51,296 --> 00:18:52,328
Oh Betsy.
308
00:18:56,928 --> 00:18:59,434
She missed me, you know?
309
00:18:59,469 --> 00:19:02,305
If only there
weren't the problem
310
00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:04,373
with the Polaroid formula.
311
00:19:04,408 --> 00:19:05,935
It was tragic.
312
00:19:05,970 --> 00:19:07,706
Doc had bought the factory.
313
00:19:07,741 --> 00:19:10,247
He got the machines
back from scrap metal
314
00:19:10,282 --> 00:19:12,942
and persuaded the
workers to return.
315
00:19:12,977 --> 00:19:15,285
But then they discovered
316
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,684
that the formula to actually
produce Polaroid film
317
00:19:18,719 --> 00:19:21,324
had been lost forever
318
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,294
because the chemicals
didn't exist anymore.
319
00:19:24,329 --> 00:19:25,195
Instant film
320
00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:28,727
is the world's most
chemically complicated
321
00:19:28,762 --> 00:19:30,828
man-made product ever.
322
00:19:30,863 --> 00:19:33,600
There's never been a
completely manmade product
323
00:19:33,635 --> 00:19:36,306
that is more chemically
complicated than that.
324
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:37,406
Doc and his team
325
00:19:37,441 --> 00:19:39,870
were continuing to
make instant film,
326
00:19:39,905 --> 00:19:44,578
but their product
was, well, awful.
327
00:19:44,613 --> 00:19:46,382
Colors were all over the place,
328
00:19:46,417 --> 00:19:48,483
bits of the image
would disappear
329
00:19:48,518 --> 00:19:52,388
and a photo took 45
minutes to develop.
330
00:19:53,017 --> 00:19:54,017
It wasn't pretty.
331
00:19:55,019 --> 00:19:56,392
Oh my God.
332
00:19:56,427 --> 00:19:57,536
You know, we had
this killer crystals
333
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,889
and we had leaky pods
334
00:19:58,924 --> 00:20:01,595
and we had pictures
disappearing.
335
00:20:01,630 --> 00:20:02,827
I don't understand,
336
00:20:02,862 --> 00:20:03,872
the film worked
or it didn't work?
337
00:20:03,896 --> 00:20:04,697
Of course it worked.
338
00:20:04,732 --> 00:20:05,962
It was perfect,
339
00:20:05,997 --> 00:20:07,667
but you know in a
very special way.
340
00:20:09,341 --> 00:20:11,968
Well, yeah, I mean
there was many skeptics.
341
00:20:12,003 --> 00:20:14,443
We had a lot of people that
we were still talking to
342
00:20:14,478 --> 00:20:16,973
who were long-time
Polaroid veterans
343
00:20:17,008 --> 00:20:19,778
and they all said that
it'll never happen.
344
00:20:19,813 --> 00:20:20,911
There's no way.
345
00:20:20,946 --> 00:20:22,517
Oh my God.
346
00:20:22,552 --> 00:20:24,321
This is an innovative product
347
00:20:24,356 --> 00:20:26,455
'cause the images disappear.
348
00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:29,359
This is, you know, one
of the very first images
349
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:31,361
and everybody was super excited
350
00:20:31,396 --> 00:20:33,990
that we get any result at all.
351
00:20:34,025 --> 00:20:36,729
But it was also the
beginning of us understanding
352
00:20:36,764 --> 00:20:39,402
that there are a lot of
challenges in front of us.
353
00:20:39,437 --> 00:20:42,471
Nevertheless, we said,
"Please support us
354
00:20:42,506 --> 00:20:44,374
and go on this journey with us.
355
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:45,870
We don't want to fuck you
356
00:20:45,905 --> 00:20:49,313
but this is an adventure
and this is what we can do."
357
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:52,525
When he first launched
the first film,
358
00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:54,483
we analyzed it and
it was terrible.
359
00:20:54,518 --> 00:20:55,715
I mean it really was.
360
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:57,486
The images looked like ghosts
361
00:20:57,521 --> 00:20:59,488
and these weren't
of good quality.
362
00:20:59,523 --> 00:21:00,951
And so it was
disappointing to us.
363
00:21:00,986 --> 00:21:02,590
We were really hoping
it would be great.
364
00:21:02,625 --> 00:21:04,053
But I think Florian
didn't realize
365
00:21:04,088 --> 00:21:05,725
just how complicated it was.
366
00:21:07,025 --> 00:21:09,531
There were two customers
in the beginning.
367
00:21:09,566 --> 00:21:10,499
The one said,
368
00:21:10,534 --> 00:21:14,536
"Ooh, yeah it was nice
before it disappeared."
369
00:21:14,571 --> 00:21:16,670
And the other one said,
370
00:21:16,705 --> 00:21:19,442
"Call me when you
really make film."
371
00:21:30,983 --> 00:21:32,785
It would take them years
372
00:21:32,820 --> 00:21:34,050
to reinvent the formula.
373
00:21:38,727 --> 00:21:42,091
But Doc wasn't going
to be stopped easily.
374
00:21:42,126 --> 00:21:43,664
He traveled the world
375
00:21:43,699 --> 00:21:46,832
in search of fellow
believers and converts
376
00:21:46,867 --> 00:21:49,637
and there was some good news.
377
00:21:50,904 --> 00:21:54,510
Doc could see signs
of analog coming back.
378
00:21:57,548 --> 00:21:59,482
In New York,
advertising billboards
379
00:21:59,517 --> 00:22:01,583
were again being hand painted.
380
00:22:03,686 --> 00:22:05,950
Impossible wasn't alone.
381
00:22:36,048 --> 00:22:39,555
We're on the 22nd floor of
the Sherry-Netherland Hotel.
382
00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:41,524
This is the famous GM building.
383
00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:44,428
Rockefeller Center is that way.
384
00:22:44,463 --> 00:22:49,466
And Apple, iconic Fifth
Avenue Apple store
385
00:22:50,161 --> 00:22:51,600
rebuilding their glass cue.
386
00:22:51,635 --> 00:22:52,601
They're making it bigger.
387
00:22:52,636 --> 00:22:54,471
They're making it bigger.
388
00:22:54,506 --> 00:22:55,405
Doc's been a hero
389
00:22:55,441 --> 00:22:57,870
because I've followed
The Impossible Project
390
00:22:57,905 --> 00:22:59,707
since it was truly impossible
391
00:22:59,742 --> 00:23:03,678
and bought the very
earliest Impossible film.
392
00:23:03,713 --> 00:23:05,779
So I thought, well,
I'll write this guy,
393
00:23:05,814 --> 00:23:08,749
he's iconic in the field
394
00:23:08,784 --> 00:23:11,686
and see if he
responds, and you did.
395
00:23:11,721 --> 00:23:14,018
So we had the digital
Skype conversation and-
396
00:23:14,053 --> 00:23:16,185
Then we changed to analog.
397
00:23:16,220 --> 00:23:18,726
And then we changed to analog.
398
00:23:20,664 --> 00:23:21,664
I love collecting art
399
00:23:21,699 --> 00:23:25,865
and I love the intersection
of art and technology
400
00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:28,736
and there is an intense beauty
401
00:23:28,771 --> 00:23:32,707
I think that that
has been incorporated
402
00:23:32,742 --> 00:23:34,643
in the design of
analog products.
403
00:23:34,678 --> 00:23:37,074
This is a famous phone by AT&T
404
00:23:37,109 --> 00:23:40,583
from the '60s and '70s
called the Touch-a-matic.
405
00:23:40,618 --> 00:23:42,717
And so
406
00:23:42,752 --> 00:23:44,213
That's the outside line.
407
00:23:44,248 --> 00:23:45,423
I have a message.
408
00:23:46,888 --> 00:23:48,866
Just so intensely beautiful
in the way its designed.
409
00:23:48,890 --> 00:23:51,957
And look at the way the
speaker phone is designed.
410
00:23:51,992 --> 00:23:53,123
It's very cool.
411
00:23:53,158 --> 00:23:56,093
So these are the
incoming outside lines
412
00:23:56,128 --> 00:23:58,128
that are punched down
on the punch down block.
413
00:23:58,163 --> 00:23:59,635
These are line cards.
414
00:23:59,670 --> 00:24:01,197
And so when I go off hook,
415
00:24:01,232 --> 00:24:03,166
then if I put it on hold,
416
00:24:03,201 --> 00:24:04,211
you can hear the interruption.
417
00:24:04,235 --> 00:24:06,741
It cycles through mechanically
418
00:24:06,776 --> 00:24:07,742
and it's very reliable.
419
00:24:07,777 --> 00:24:10,910
I mean these things were
really engineered well.
420
00:24:10,945 --> 00:24:12,208
I have my housekeeper here.
421
00:24:12,243 --> 00:24:14,210
I've got the package
room, et cetera,
422
00:24:14,245 --> 00:24:16,223
and you can program in all
these different numbers.
423
00:24:16,247 --> 00:24:17,620
And so if you call.
424
00:24:25,894 --> 00:24:27,861
Housekeeping, good
afternoon, Shelly speaking.
425
00:24:27,896 --> 00:24:28,896
Oh hi Shelly.
426
00:24:28,930 --> 00:24:30,501
Wrong number, sorry.
427
00:24:30,536 --> 00:24:31,227
There you go.
428
00:24:31,262 --> 00:24:32,800
Why do this, David?
429
00:24:32,835 --> 00:24:35,737
Well, I wanted to make
telephone calls so.
430
00:24:37,675 --> 00:24:41,941
I mean it's connected to the
outside world and it's ready.
431
00:24:41,976 --> 00:24:42,942
The Impossible Project,
432
00:24:42,977 --> 00:24:44,273
this was the good luck
433
00:24:44,308 --> 00:24:46,979
that all of these machines
worked somehow like this.
434
00:24:47,014 --> 00:24:50,884
So if something breaks,
you still can exchange it
435
00:24:50,919 --> 00:24:52,083
and you can understand it.
436
00:24:52,118 --> 00:24:53,656
It's not a black box.
437
00:24:53,691 --> 00:24:55,251
So I think this is very similar
438
00:24:55,286 --> 00:24:56,824
because it's much easier
439
00:24:56,859 --> 00:24:59,827
than all this hidden
technology that we have today.
440
00:24:59,862 --> 00:25:03,292
Renaissance, okay
Oskar, here we go.
441
00:25:03,327 --> 00:25:07,868
And I'll say from David and Doc.
442
00:25:10,939 --> 00:25:11,939
Great.
443
00:25:11,973 --> 00:25:13,104
Put a few stamps on here
444
00:25:14,305 --> 00:25:16,008
And then we're just
gonna send this off.
445
00:25:42,740 --> 00:25:45,807
People were starting to get it.
446
00:25:45,842 --> 00:25:47,578
Analog was a decision,
447
00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:50,141
to keep something and to use it,
448
00:25:50,176 --> 00:25:53,342
a choice each of us can make.
449
00:25:53,377 --> 00:25:55,718
Right, right.
450
00:25:58,954 --> 00:25:59,986
Yes.
451
00:26:07,127 --> 00:26:08,127
Okay.
452
00:26:15,773 --> 00:26:16,805
Look at me.
453
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,971
Okay, that way.
454
00:26:21,075 --> 00:26:24,043
Hold and hold and stay.
455
00:26:24,078 --> 00:26:26,210
What's the camera we're using?
456
00:26:26,245 --> 00:26:31,017
You're using an
Aeroflex 35 SL camera,
457
00:26:31,052 --> 00:26:34,284
probably one of the most
sophisticated sync sound cameras
458
00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:35,857
in the world.
459
00:26:35,892 --> 00:26:38,794
It's a fairly lightweight
handheld camera
460
00:26:38,829 --> 00:26:40,037
and we've had
quite a few of them
461
00:26:40,061 --> 00:26:42,160
and they're still
being used today.
462
00:26:42,195 --> 00:26:44,162
It's a 35 millimeter
film camera.
463
00:26:44,197 --> 00:26:45,702
It's film, it's incredible.
464
00:26:45,737 --> 00:26:46,868
You know, we love film.
465
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:52,973
Isn't film meant to be dead?
466
00:26:53,008 --> 00:26:55,745
Well, film is actually not dead.
467
00:26:58,079 --> 00:26:59,881
You have a nice
clean frame and cut.
468
00:26:59,916 --> 00:27:02,048
You can use it as a cut
and everything, okay.
469
00:27:02,083 --> 00:27:04,017
It's beautiful, beautiful.
470
00:27:04,052 --> 00:27:05,821
Now we're walking into,
471
00:27:06,923 --> 00:27:09,385
this is the safe room.
472
00:27:09,420 --> 00:27:12,223
This is where all the gold is.
473
00:27:12,258 --> 00:27:15,028
It's not gold, it's like lenses.
474
00:27:15,063 --> 00:27:16,095
They're so expensive.
475
00:27:16,130 --> 00:27:20,165
They're like gold
and we love them.
476
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,069
And here they are, there
are all these lenses.
477
00:27:23,104 --> 00:27:26,270
They're worth a lot of
money, a lot of money.
478
00:27:26,305 --> 00:27:29,174
I would have to sell my house
just to buy this, you know?
479
00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:36,753
♪ For I was born to glory ♪
480
00:27:38,482 --> 00:27:42,022
♪ You kiss forever more ♪
481
00:27:49,295 --> 00:27:52,703
The Impossible
Project expanded to New York.
482
00:28:05,509 --> 00:28:08,180
Whether it's instant
photography or film,
483
00:28:08,215 --> 00:28:11,315
it's a rebellion against
technology making things
484
00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:13,317
too easy or too quick.
485
00:28:13,352 --> 00:28:15,055
You have a lot of
things with customers
486
00:28:15,090 --> 00:28:17,222
where things don't
work out with the film.
487
00:28:17,257 --> 00:28:19,862
You know, I remember
having people saying,
488
00:28:19,897 --> 00:28:22,425
"Hey, my wedding was a disaster.
489
00:28:22,460 --> 00:28:24,867
The film didn't work."
490
00:28:24,902 --> 00:28:27,034
Of course, it's
pretty upsetting,
491
00:28:27,069 --> 00:28:29,399
but it's one of the things
you have to factor in
492
00:28:29,434 --> 00:28:32,006
with that kind of
unpredictable media.
493
00:28:35,341 --> 00:28:37,209
Sure, we could all
be making iPhone apps
494
00:28:37,244 --> 00:28:39,343
but to what end?
495
00:28:41,479 --> 00:28:43,446
Over time, I really
had to ask myself
496
00:28:43,481 --> 00:28:46,086
why I was working for
The Impossible Project.
497
00:28:46,121 --> 00:28:47,428
You know, I really
came up with this idea
498
00:28:47,452 --> 00:28:49,353
that human beings, we're analog.
499
00:28:49,388 --> 00:28:51,388
And I think that's
part of the reason
500
00:28:51,423 --> 00:28:54,259
why we gravitate towards
analog things still,
501
00:28:54,294 --> 00:28:56,734
even though we're in
this very digital realm.
502
00:29:02,071 --> 00:29:05,501
Do you think
this enthusiasm for analog,
503
00:29:05,536 --> 00:29:07,470
do you think it
is a passing stage
504
00:29:07,505 --> 00:29:10,407
or it is something
that is here to stay?
505
00:29:10,442 --> 00:29:13,542
You know, I really think that
this is just the beginning
506
00:29:13,577 --> 00:29:17,381
of a very huge
rediscovery of analog
507
00:29:17,416 --> 00:29:20,087
across all forms of media.
508
00:29:20,122 --> 00:29:21,319
I have the very good feeling
509
00:29:21,354 --> 00:29:25,554
that because of the
digital acceleration,
510
00:29:25,589 --> 00:29:28,458
they are really looking
for a digital detox.
511
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:37,841
Oh my God, I love that.
512
00:29:38,943 --> 00:29:40,976
I really like that one.
513
00:29:41,011 --> 00:29:41,812
How does that even happen?
514
00:29:41,847 --> 00:29:42,945
It sometimes does it.
515
00:29:42,980 --> 00:29:44,815
I think it's from the chemicals.
516
00:29:44,850 --> 00:29:46,047
That's crazy,
517
00:29:46,082 --> 00:29:48,412
like it looks a bit
like it's burned.
518
00:29:48,447 --> 00:29:49,886
Sometimes it's annoying
519
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:51,954
but mostly it really makes
sense that it happens
520
00:29:51,989 --> 00:29:54,990
and you're like, wow, okay
that makes it even better.
521
00:29:55,025 --> 00:29:56,420
It's so trippy
522
00:29:56,455 --> 00:29:59,896
but it balances the
picture at the same time.
523
00:29:59,931 --> 00:30:02,129
Is Impossible the business?
524
00:30:02,164 --> 00:30:03,295
Absolutely.
525
00:30:03,330 --> 00:30:04,441
I'm very happy
that you didn't ask
526
00:30:04,465 --> 00:30:06,408
if it's a sustainable business
or a profitable business.
527
00:30:06,432 --> 00:30:07,563
Well that's what I meant.
528
00:30:08,907 --> 00:30:10,071
Not yet.
529
00:30:10,106 --> 00:30:12,304
We are still at
the very beginning.
530
00:30:12,339 --> 00:30:14,075
This is suddenly
the wonderful thing
531
00:30:14,110 --> 00:30:15,276
about what we are doing.
532
00:30:15,311 --> 00:30:18,882
You know everybody wants to
leave some traces in this world.
533
00:30:20,446 --> 00:30:22,512
If people don't use
analog materials
534
00:30:22,547 --> 00:30:23,379
then they will go away.
535
00:30:23,415 --> 00:30:26,384
So you want to sort
of promote the fact
536
00:30:26,419 --> 00:30:28,221
that it's out there,
that it's good.
537
00:30:28,256 --> 00:30:30,421
It's different and it's special.
538
00:30:32,095 --> 00:30:34,161
It's experiencing the real
539
00:30:34,196 --> 00:30:36,460
and not the image
of something real.
540
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,910
So many digital products
feel a little bit similar,
541
00:30:46,945 --> 00:30:49,539
so bright and the
color's so good
542
00:30:49,574 --> 00:30:51,244
from even every amateur.
543
00:30:51,279 --> 00:30:54,511
People crave something
that's a little weird,
544
00:30:54,546 --> 00:30:58,482
a little wrong almost.
545
00:30:58,517 --> 00:30:59,661
I'm talking
about a little weird.
546
00:30:59,685 --> 00:31:02,519
I should think that's the
moment to take a weird picture.
547
00:31:05,062 --> 00:31:06,457
Am I in this?
548
00:31:06,492 --> 00:31:08,228
You're in this.
549
00:31:08,263 --> 00:31:09,592
We're made of chemistry.
550
00:31:09,627 --> 00:31:11,330
Film is made of chemistry.
551
00:31:11,365 --> 00:31:13,596
When I see an
image shot on film,
552
00:31:13,631 --> 00:31:15,565
I feel an affinity for it
553
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,633
that I simply have
not been able to feel
554
00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:19,239
towards digital images.
555
00:31:19,274 --> 00:31:20,307
Photography wise,
556
00:31:20,342 --> 00:31:22,572
it's not just about the
perfection of the material.
557
00:31:22,607 --> 00:31:24,673
It's about the emotion
you connect with it.
558
00:31:24,708 --> 00:31:27,247
Even the people hate it,
559
00:31:27,282 --> 00:31:29,678
that there's chemistry
that they have this stuff.
560
00:31:29,713 --> 00:31:30,545
Oh are you kidding?
561
00:31:30,581 --> 00:31:32,131
It's a mess, but come
on, it's the best.
562
00:31:32,155 --> 00:31:34,320
Exactly, nowadays
it is the best.
563
00:31:34,355 --> 00:31:35,662
You know, when I was
working on the book I wrote,
564
00:31:35,686 --> 00:31:38,456
I cannot tell you how
many people told me
565
00:31:38,491 --> 00:31:41,932
the smell of the
reagent on the negative
566
00:31:41,967 --> 00:31:42,866
took them to their childhood
567
00:31:42,902 --> 00:31:45,628
or to some sexy time
they'd had with Polaroid
568
00:31:45,663 --> 00:31:47,564
or to their grandparents' house.
569
00:31:47,599 --> 00:31:49,170
Smells are evocative.
570
00:31:51,977 --> 00:31:53,603
It's not that I
think digital is bad.
571
00:31:53,638 --> 00:31:56,243
In fact, I think the argument
about film versus digital
572
00:31:56,278 --> 00:31:58,344
is really old,
it's kind of done.
573
00:31:58,379 --> 00:32:01,347
For me, it's keeping
a choice alive.
574
00:32:02,515 --> 00:32:04,955
For technology to
eliminate something
575
00:32:04,990 --> 00:32:09,025
simply because it's more convenient is
really shortsighted.
576
00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:10,961
I want to look at the long-term.
577
00:32:10,996 --> 00:32:12,732
I want to make sure that
people can still use film
578
00:32:12,756 --> 00:32:13,931
long after I'm gone.
579
00:32:36,549 --> 00:32:39,484
Doc's project
had taken a first call.
580
00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:41,618
The film was it at last
581
00:32:41,653 --> 00:32:45,061
at least beginning to
look like Polaroid.
582
00:32:45,096 --> 00:32:49,263
A photo now took only
30 minutes to develop.
583
00:32:51,762 --> 00:32:54,037
It was a kind of a
honeymoon period.
584
00:32:58,604 --> 00:33:00,670
If you looked closely, however,
585
00:33:00,705 --> 00:33:04,014
you might've seen some dark
clouds forming on the horizon.
586
00:33:05,182 --> 00:33:08,480
The photos were
cool but expensive
587
00:33:08,515 --> 00:33:11,186
and notoriously
difficult to handle.
588
00:33:19,757 --> 00:33:22,131
It was then that I
got to know Oskar,
589
00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:24,232
a young engineer from New York.
590
00:33:24,267 --> 00:33:26,762
Oskar was fascinated
by instant film
591
00:33:26,797 --> 00:33:30,568
and he saw a future for
Impossible in the digital world.
592
00:33:30,603 --> 00:33:34,044
He was soon to become a
key player on the team.
593
00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:35,375
I'm Oskar Smolokowski.
594
00:33:35,410 --> 00:33:37,674
I'm left camera right now.
595
00:33:41,086 --> 00:33:45,385
Oskar was only 22
when he joined Doc in Europe
596
00:33:45,420 --> 00:33:49,653
with the intention of learning
the business from the boss.
597
00:33:49,688 --> 00:33:51,193
Can you imagine?
598
00:33:52,130 --> 00:33:53,173
I came into the job thinking,
599
00:33:53,197 --> 00:33:54,691
okay, I'm gonna learn from a CEO
600
00:33:54,726 --> 00:33:56,594
on how it's supposed to be done.
601
00:33:56,629 --> 00:33:58,431
The part I remember about
my first day at work
602
00:33:58,466 --> 00:34:00,532
when we went on a
ride on his motorcycle
603
00:34:00,567 --> 00:34:02,534
to eat at his
favorite sushi place.
604
00:34:02,569 --> 00:34:05,834
And to be honest, I was
like, what the fuck?
605
00:34:05,869 --> 00:34:08,639
I can't believe this is
how you run a company.
606
00:34:08,674 --> 00:34:10,080
It's not been boring.
607
00:34:11,413 --> 00:34:12,544
You could see this
608
00:34:12,579 --> 00:34:14,348
at the World's
Largest Photo Fair.
609
00:34:14,383 --> 00:34:18,121
In 2014, Impossible
was still regarded
610
00:34:18,156 --> 00:34:20,222
as a charming analog outpost,
611
00:34:20,257 --> 00:34:22,851
but theirs was
the busiest stand.
612
00:34:22,886 --> 00:34:24,853
This was where young people went
613
00:34:24,888 --> 00:34:26,327
and it was young people
614
00:34:26,362 --> 00:34:28,230
who were at the
heart of the company.
615
00:34:29,662 --> 00:34:31,673
I was 23 when I went to the
store for the first time.
616
00:34:31,697 --> 00:34:35,171
You had lines of old Polaroid
cameras across all the walls.
617
00:34:35,206 --> 00:34:37,140
You know, it definitely
had a magic to it
618
00:34:37,175 --> 00:34:38,383
and this kind of
retro magic to it.
619
00:34:38,407 --> 00:34:40,176
So I picked up an
old Polaroid camera
620
00:34:40,211 --> 00:34:42,178
and that was my first
experience with it.
621
00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:44,224
You know, the first shots were
all on old Polaroid cameras.
622
00:34:44,248 --> 00:34:47,414
And actually today they are
still only old Polaroid cameras.
623
00:34:47,449 --> 00:34:49,163
But when you kind of get
introduced through it that way
624
00:34:49,187 --> 00:34:51,649
it does have this very
retro thing to it.
625
00:34:51,684 --> 00:34:56,456
But the more you play
with it and you use it,
626
00:34:56,491 --> 00:34:58,524
it's less about the
retro aspect of it
627
00:34:58,559 --> 00:34:59,701
and more about the experience
628
00:34:59,725 --> 00:35:00,900
of actually holding
a photograph,
629
00:35:00,924 --> 00:35:02,363
letting it develop in your hand,
630
00:35:02,398 --> 00:35:03,705
which is of course
an analog process,
631
00:35:03,729 --> 00:35:06,697
but it's more about
the experience of it.
632
00:35:09,207 --> 00:35:11,207
I think both Doc and myself,
633
00:35:11,242 --> 00:35:13,143
we really loved the product
634
00:35:13,178 --> 00:35:15,310
and we wanted to
bring it to people.
635
00:35:15,345 --> 00:35:18,181
And for me, it was
always the challenge
636
00:35:18,216 --> 00:35:19,919
of how do we make this
business sustainable?
637
00:35:19,943 --> 00:35:21,712
How do we give this a future?
638
00:35:21,747 --> 00:35:22,924
How do we kind of pay the bills,
639
00:35:22,948 --> 00:35:26,552
keep the lights on and keep
everybody employed year by year?
640
00:35:26,587 --> 00:35:29,225
And we have this giant factory
641
00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:30,622
and to make that sustainable,
642
00:35:30,657 --> 00:35:32,888
we needed to bring the
volume of the film up.
643
00:35:32,923 --> 00:35:33,889
And to do that,
we needed to bring
644
00:35:33,924 --> 00:35:36,826
the quality of the film
up and the prices down.
645
00:35:36,861 --> 00:35:38,927
And I think that's where
the biggest difference was
646
00:35:38,962 --> 00:35:40,764
between myself and Doc.
647
00:35:40,799 --> 00:35:43,470
He really believed
that the film we had,
648
00:35:43,505 --> 00:35:45,274
this imperfect one,
649
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:46,583
people would fall
in love with it
650
00:35:46,607 --> 00:35:48,244
the way he fell in love with it.
651
00:35:48,279 --> 00:35:51,379
You know, when the company
started Florian famously said,
652
00:35:51,414 --> 00:35:53,876
"Anything you make in
the factory, I'll sell."
653
00:35:53,911 --> 00:35:57,814
Like that's not a product
people want, you know?
654
00:35:57,849 --> 00:35:59,651
People want instant analog film
655
00:35:59,686 --> 00:36:01,455
that develops quickly
and looks great
656
00:36:01,490 --> 00:36:03,292
and that's what we
want to give them.
657
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:05,822
♪ Without you ♪
658
00:36:16,604 --> 00:36:19,308
Impossible to me was
definitely heart over mind.
659
00:36:19,343 --> 00:36:21,640
Like with a lot of stuff
that comes at you in life,
660
00:36:21,675 --> 00:36:23,477
you do it because
it feels right.
661
00:36:23,512 --> 00:36:25,611
And that was definitely
the case here.
662
00:36:25,646 --> 00:36:27,415
I felt the need to
explore further,
663
00:36:27,450 --> 00:36:29,945
to connect to the
project in some way,
664
00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:31,947
to talk to Doc and
see if I could help.
665
00:36:39,726 --> 00:36:42,397
I always knew that I wanted
to do something with products
666
00:36:42,432 --> 00:36:45,334
but at Impossible, I really
figured out what that means.
667
00:36:45,369 --> 00:36:46,511
And it really means, you know,
668
00:36:46,535 --> 00:36:47,267
putting two years of your life
669
00:36:47,303 --> 00:36:49,404
into something
that's gonna launch,
670
00:36:49,439 --> 00:36:51,472
endless hours
tweaking the details
671
00:36:51,507 --> 00:36:53,347
and the millions of things
that could go wrong.
672
00:36:53,377 --> 00:36:55,542
But it's just like with
the analog process,
673
00:36:55,577 --> 00:36:58,215
the more you put in,
the more you get out.
674
00:36:59,482 --> 00:37:01,350
When we took over the
factory, it was like,
675
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:02,395
let's bring this film back,
676
00:37:02,419 --> 00:37:03,715
Polaroid stopped making it.
677
00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:05,453
With the camera,
678
00:37:05,488 --> 00:37:07,917
we want to create our own kind
of future for these products.
679
00:37:12,891 --> 00:37:15,298
It was very much about
dreaming in the early days.
680
00:37:15,333 --> 00:37:16,574
And it needed to
be about dreaming
681
00:37:16,598 --> 00:37:17,642
to get it started
and off the ground.
682
00:37:17,666 --> 00:37:20,930
You needed to do stupid
things like buy the factory
683
00:37:20,965 --> 00:37:22,371
to start the thing.
684
00:37:22,406 --> 00:37:24,637
But to actually bring
it to profitability
685
00:37:24,672 --> 00:37:26,452
and to bring it to as
many people as possible,
686
00:37:26,476 --> 00:37:28,443
you actually need
to do a lot of work.
687
00:37:28,478 --> 00:37:31,974
And honestly, you know, we
started doing that a year ago
688
00:37:32,009 --> 00:37:34,482
'cause before it was
more about the dreaming.
689
00:37:36,849 --> 00:37:40,323
Doc and The Impossible Project
captivated a lot of hearts,
690
00:37:40,358 --> 00:37:41,358
including mine.
691
00:37:42,426 --> 00:37:44,492
I mean, I suffered
pack after pack
692
00:37:44,527 --> 00:37:46,395
of the early
Impossible Project film
693
00:37:46,430 --> 00:37:48,694
to get those few
shots worth keeping.
694
00:37:48,729 --> 00:37:51,532
But there just weren't
enough enthusiasts like me
695
00:37:51,567 --> 00:37:52,896
to keep the business around.
696
00:37:52,931 --> 00:37:54,062
We had this amazing story,
697
00:37:54,097 --> 00:37:55,734
we had this amazing mission,
698
00:37:55,769 --> 00:37:56,966
but at the end of the day,
699
00:37:57,001 --> 00:37:58,451
we had a lot of work
ahead of ourselves
700
00:37:58,475 --> 00:38:02,543
to make it a sustainable
company or we'd be gone.
701
00:38:03,579 --> 00:38:04,579
One of the turning points
702
00:38:04,614 --> 00:38:07,449
was bringing Stephen Herchen
on board around 2014.
703
00:38:08,650 --> 00:38:10,353
I mean he knows
instant photography
704
00:38:10,388 --> 00:38:12,652
better than anyone on
the planet now I guess,
705
00:38:12,687 --> 00:38:15,050
and actually worked
directly with Edwin Land
706
00:38:15,085 --> 00:38:17,624
straight after
graduating from MIT.
707
00:38:17,659 --> 00:38:19,560
And he's been instrumental
708
00:38:19,595 --> 00:38:21,991
in evolving the product to
where it needs to get to.
709
00:38:27,834 --> 00:38:30,505
Actually, just that
one, that one there.
710
00:38:30,540 --> 00:38:31,968
Yeah, thank you.
711
00:38:41,144 --> 00:38:42,880
While the company had to focus
712
00:38:42,915 --> 00:38:44,981
much more on viable products,
713
00:38:45,016 --> 00:38:47,720
Doc continued on his quest,
714
00:38:47,755 --> 00:38:50,822
authentic and possibly
impossible projects,
715
00:38:50,857 --> 00:38:53,594
such as craftspeople swimming
716
00:38:53,629 --> 00:38:55,926
against the tide of convenience.
717
00:38:57,666 --> 00:38:59,633
We still have to
really fight hard
718
00:38:59,668 --> 00:39:01,833
because still on a daily basis,
719
00:39:01,868 --> 00:39:05,375
things, machine,
technologies disappear.
720
00:41:45,031 --> 00:41:45,863
We are in Berlin
721
00:41:45,899 --> 00:41:48,032
and I have some
negatives from New York
722
00:41:48,067 --> 00:41:53,037
to develop my analog shots
myself and experiment.
723
00:42:04,952 --> 00:42:07,018
We're living in the digital age.
724
00:42:07,053 --> 00:42:08,657
This seems like a lot of hassle.
725
00:42:11,728 --> 00:42:12,859
It's good sometimes
726
00:42:12,894 --> 00:42:15,026
to just be completely
lost on your own
727
00:42:15,061 --> 00:42:18,293
in this little cave for the
whole day or the whole night
728
00:42:18,328 --> 00:42:20,933
and you can't even
have your mobile phone
729
00:42:20,968 --> 00:42:22,836
'cause you have a bright screen
730
00:42:22,871 --> 00:42:24,046
and it will destroy the picture.
731
00:42:24,070 --> 00:42:26,642
So I think that's very healthy,
732
00:42:26,677 --> 00:42:28,072
I don't think it's a hassle.
733
00:42:31,308 --> 00:42:32,615
I think also for your brains
734
00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:35,816
and for your physical feelings,
735
00:42:35,851 --> 00:42:38,819
just moving, doing things,
looking at it properly
736
00:42:38,854 --> 00:42:42,185
and not having this weird
bright light around you
737
00:42:42,220 --> 00:42:46,024
from computer screens, yeah.
738
00:42:47,225 --> 00:42:50,798
It's very calming and
it's very rewarding.
739
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:02,304
♪ Ruffled at my base ♪
740
00:43:02,339 --> 00:43:07,243
♪ And it walked under my tree ♪
741
00:43:08,851 --> 00:43:13,854
♪ When suddenly it

742
00:43:15,220 --> 00:43:20,223

00:43:25,835 --> 00:43:29,705
♪ Will all get washed up ♪
745
00:43:29,740 --> 00:43:33,170
So all was well
in the land of analog?
746
00:43:33,205 --> 00:43:34,336
No.
747
00:43:34,371 --> 00:43:36,811
In reality, their
products weren't selling
748
00:43:36,846 --> 00:43:39,682
and Impossible was fast
running out of money.
749
00:43:40,443 --> 00:43:43,081
Doc was under pressure.
750
00:43:43,116 --> 00:43:46,722
Financially, we had
to find a serious investor
751
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,922
to take the next steps with us.
752
00:43:48,957 --> 00:43:52,926
The candidates were
not standing in line.
753
00:43:52,961 --> 00:43:55,929
Luckily, we found
Mr. Smolokowski.
754
00:43:55,964 --> 00:43:58,734
Oskar back then
convinced his father
755
00:43:58,769 --> 00:44:00,395
to give Impossible a chance.
756
00:44:02,069 --> 00:44:03,937
He got excited
about the project.
757
00:44:03,972 --> 00:44:05,411
So I think I just
forwarded an email.
758
00:44:05,435 --> 00:44:08,172
I was like, "They're
not great yet,
759
00:44:08,207 --> 00:44:10,207
but this has some potential."
760
00:44:13,718 --> 00:44:16,884
Slava was a classically
trained clarinet player,
761
00:44:16,919 --> 00:44:19,282
but also an inventive investor,
762
00:44:19,317 --> 00:44:22,758
which happened to be exactly
what Impossible needed
763
00:44:22,793 --> 00:44:23,924
this time.
764
00:44:25,125 --> 00:44:26,125
It's analog.
765
00:44:27,127 --> 00:44:29,325
I think we needed
a bit of a reality check.
766
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,140
For the product to work
for more than a few people,
767
00:44:31,164 --> 00:44:32,361
which was what was needed
768
00:44:32,396 --> 00:44:35,331
to kind of keep the
lights on in the factory,
769
00:44:35,366 --> 00:44:36,805
we needed to do
something about it
770
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,235
or the whole dream could die.
771
00:44:46,344 --> 00:44:48,212
If you start to doubt
your own product
772
00:44:48,247 --> 00:44:50,951
or if you don't
have this 100% trust
773
00:44:50,986 --> 00:44:52,051
that comes from inside,
774
00:44:52,086 --> 00:44:53,184
it's hard to sell it,
775
00:44:53,219 --> 00:44:54,427
it's hard to convince
other people.
776
00:44:54,451 --> 00:44:56,121
The problem with Oskar,
777
00:44:56,156 --> 00:44:59,157
he didn't really feel
secure about the quality
778
00:44:59,192 --> 00:45:00,389
and many other topics.
779
00:45:00,424 --> 00:45:03,293
You know, I always even
with the worst film,
780
00:45:03,328 --> 00:45:05,064
I say, "Wow, I love it.
781
00:45:05,099 --> 00:45:08,496
Look at these killer
crystals, wow."
782
00:45:08,531 --> 00:45:10,003
It's one thing to have a dream
783
00:45:10,038 --> 00:45:11,115
and it's a very different thing
784
00:45:11,139 --> 00:45:14,040
to actually execute on that
dream and build a company.
785
00:45:14,075 --> 00:45:15,811
I always like to do things
786
00:45:15,846 --> 00:45:20,849
that can go totally wrong or
be super, super incredible.
787
00:45:21,384 --> 00:45:22,752
You know, Steve Jobs,
788
00:45:22,787 --> 00:45:24,479
what was so brilliant
about Steve Jobs?
789
00:45:24,514 --> 00:45:28,120
He was the only guy who
you really believed in
790
00:45:28,155 --> 00:45:30,419
that he really was
in love and proud
791
00:45:30,454 --> 00:45:32,256
and crazy for his own products.
792
00:45:32,291 --> 00:45:35,193
And in today's world,
this is very unusual.
793
00:45:37,461 --> 00:45:38,900
I was lucky.
794
00:45:38,935 --> 00:45:41,496
I found what I love
to do early in life.
795
00:45:41,531 --> 00:45:44,235
I started Apple in my
parents' garage when I was 20.
796
00:45:44,270 --> 00:45:46,369
And in 10 years, Apple had grown
797
00:45:46,404 --> 00:45:49,372
into a two billion dollar company with
over 4,000 employees.
798
00:45:51,211 --> 00:45:52,342
And then I got fired.
799
00:45:54,247 --> 00:45:56,478
How can you get fired from
a company you started?
800
00:45:58,823 --> 00:46:01,318
Well, this is how.
801
00:46:01,353 --> 00:46:03,518
The film was still a disaster.
802
00:46:03,553 --> 00:46:05,355
Millions had been lost.
803
00:46:05,390 --> 00:46:07,863
Something had to give.
804
00:46:07,898 --> 00:46:11,526
And that something was Doc.
805
00:46:11,561 --> 00:46:12,360
Sometimes life's
806
00:46:12,395 --> 00:46:14,562
gonna hit you in the
head with a brick.
807
00:46:14,597 --> 00:46:15,805
Don't lose faith.
808
00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:20,535
It was crazy.
809
00:46:52,140 --> 00:46:54,470
Of course, it hurt me
to to leave the company
810
00:46:54,505 --> 00:46:56,208
but then loss of energy
811
00:46:56,243 --> 00:47:00,113
or even thinking of giving
up was never on the table.
812
00:49:56,687 --> 00:49:59,589
Doc's energy was insuppressible.
813
00:49:59,624 --> 00:50:01,261
He didn't stay down long.
814
00:50:01,296 --> 00:50:06,068
Of course, he'd soon start
a new impossible project.
815
00:50:22,119 --> 00:50:24,581
Supersense is one
of my dreams come true.
816
00:50:25,749 --> 00:50:29,157
Spending a lot of time
with the rediscovery
817
00:50:29,192 --> 00:50:32,193
of analog technologies
in a digital world,
818
00:50:32,228 --> 00:50:35,064
I found out that the
people who love Polaroid
819
00:50:35,099 --> 00:50:35,823
they also love wine
820
00:50:35,858 --> 00:50:37,594
or they also love good coffee,
821
00:50:37,629 --> 00:50:39,233
they also love letterpress,
822
00:50:39,268 --> 00:50:40,762
they also love books.
823
00:50:40,797 --> 00:50:43,831
And so I said, "Let's bring
all these things together
824
00:50:43,866 --> 00:50:46,174
in one very special place."
825
00:50:46,209 --> 00:50:49,573
And I found this
crazy Venetian palace
826
00:50:49,608 --> 00:50:51,179
in the heart of Vienna
827
00:50:51,214 --> 00:50:53,346
and I said, "Okay,
this is the place
828
00:50:53,381 --> 00:50:55,117
that would be the perfect home
829
00:50:55,152 --> 00:50:58,483
for bringing all these crazy
technologies under one roof."
830
00:51:00,355 --> 00:51:01,453
People always ask me,
831
00:51:01,488 --> 00:51:02,751
"What is it?
832
00:51:02,786 --> 00:51:05,622
Is it a museum, a bar,
a restaurant, a shop?"
833
00:51:06,823 --> 00:51:08,823
Basically, it's a
laboratory for me.
834
00:51:08,858 --> 00:51:12,827
We can try a lot of crazy
things and technologies.

00:54:17,684 --> 00:54:18,980
Meanwhile, back in Berlin,
846
00:54:19,015 --> 00:54:21,488
Oskar and his team
are working on ways
847
00:54:21,523 --> 00:54:23,017
to make the company better,
848
00:54:23,052 --> 00:54:27,527
to create cool analog
products for digital natives.
849
00:54:50,651 --> 00:54:51,881
2010, '11, '12,
850
00:54:51,916 --> 00:54:53,564
if you explained to people
what we we're doing,
851
00:54:53,588 --> 00:54:56,325
they'd say, "Oh, nice,
they'll probably fail."
852
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:57,887
I mean the reality is
853
00:54:57,922 --> 00:55:00,054
Impossible is one
percent of the market.
854
00:55:00,089 --> 00:55:02,331
And then we were hoping
to grow from there.
855
00:55:02,366 --> 00:55:03,431
But at the end of the day,
856
00:55:03,466 --> 00:55:04,674
this idea of
rebelliousness or not,
857
00:55:04,698 --> 00:55:07,369
I mean we're still gonna
be this company here.
858
00:55:07,404 --> 00:55:09,701
Impossible was a totally
rebellious concept.
859
00:55:09,736 --> 00:55:11,835
You know, like it's a
concept that had no logic
860
00:55:11,870 --> 00:55:13,408
really behind it at all.
861
00:55:13,443 --> 00:55:15,542
It was just a very
impassioned person
862
00:55:15,577 --> 00:55:17,643
following through
on their dream.
863
00:55:17,678 --> 00:55:18,578
And I think it's
important for us
864
00:55:18,613 --> 00:55:20,580
that we maintain some of that.
865
00:55:20,615 --> 00:55:21,447
We need to put our finger
866
00:55:21,483 --> 00:55:23,583
on what it was that
made it so special.
867
00:55:23,618 --> 00:55:26,751
And the idea that we landed
on is bring magic to life.
868
00:55:26,786 --> 00:55:29,050
This is how they used
to do nice brochures.
869
00:55:29,085 --> 00:55:30,887
So this is 1972.
870
00:55:30,922 --> 00:55:33,692
But this idea of magic
is kind of everywhere.
871
00:55:33,727 --> 00:55:35,804
And if you really think about
what all these cameras did
872
00:55:35,828 --> 00:55:37,861
since the '50s, '60s, '70s,
873
00:55:37,896 --> 00:55:41,634
whether it was a small moment
with a family or people,
874
00:55:41,669 --> 00:55:44,571
we really want to preserve
that and to build that.
875
00:55:44,606 --> 00:55:45,638
If we get this right,
876
00:55:45,673 --> 00:55:47,442
that next product can be great.
877
00:55:53,549 --> 00:55:55,516
Hi, I'm Oskar.
878
00:55:55,551 --> 00:55:56,143
Hi.
879
00:55:56,178 --> 00:55:57,518
I worked on this camera
880
00:55:57,553 --> 00:56:01,555
and I'm CEO of The
Impossible Project now.
881
00:56:01,590 --> 00:56:03,986
I wanted to invite you to
just give me some feedback.
882
00:56:04,021 --> 00:56:05,427
Okay.
883
00:56:05,462 --> 00:56:08,727
Okay, it looks like it's
came from the future.
884
00:56:08,762 --> 00:56:09,728
Good.
885
00:56:09,763 --> 00:56:11,697
I think it's very sexy.
886
00:56:11,732 --> 00:56:13,996
Very sexy, very good to hear.
887
00:56:14,031 --> 00:56:15,734
How would you take a photo?
888
00:56:15,769 --> 00:56:17,769
Yeah, maybe on and off.
889
00:56:17,804 --> 00:56:18,836
Um.
890
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,103
Agh, help.
891
00:56:23,106 --> 00:56:25,139
- How would you?
- I have no idea.
892
00:56:25,174 --> 00:56:26,613
Oh.
893
00:56:26,648 --> 00:56:27,845
So you've got eight lights,
894
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,187
which corresponds to
eight photos in each pack.
895
00:56:29,211 --> 00:56:31,013
It tells you how
many you have left.
896
00:56:32,918 --> 00:56:34,852
Smile now.
897
00:56:34,887 --> 00:56:35,887
Yes.
898
00:56:38,726 --> 00:56:39,824
I like the idea.
899
00:56:39,859 --> 00:56:40,859
Really interesting.
900
00:56:50,232 --> 00:56:52,936
Oskar was heading to New York.
901
00:56:52,971 --> 00:56:56,104
He had put everything
into Impossible's first
902
00:56:56,139 --> 00:56:57,743
all new camera, the i1.
903
00:57:01,485 --> 00:57:03,452
The ring flash is
great for portraits.
904
00:57:03,487 --> 00:57:05,454
And when you turn the camera on,
905
00:57:05,489 --> 00:57:06,697
it tells you how many
photos you have left.
906
00:57:06,721 --> 00:57:08,754
Then you can switch
it to bluetooth mode.
907
00:57:11,154 --> 00:57:12,560
So you have two sides.
908
00:57:13,761 --> 00:57:15,992
I have no idea whether
the Impossible Project
909
00:57:16,027 --> 00:57:20,095
is onto something or
is not onto something.
910
00:57:20,130 --> 00:57:22,867
It's very difficult to
know with any generation,
911
00:57:22,902 --> 00:57:24,836
what technology
is gonna take off
912
00:57:24,871 --> 00:57:27,542
and whether or not
something this retro
913
00:57:27,577 --> 00:57:30,138
given that everybody's got
a camera in their pocket
914
00:57:30,173 --> 00:57:32,547
is really gonna have
any kind of resonance.
915
00:57:34,980 --> 00:57:37,178
I think I'm pretty,
a responsible person.
916
00:57:37,213 --> 00:57:40,247
When I start something I
want to make it happen.
917
00:57:40,282 --> 00:57:45,494
A lot of milestones is
in front of the company.
918
00:57:46,222 --> 00:57:48,893
This is one of the important,
919
00:57:48,928 --> 00:57:51,467
but not first and not last.
920
00:57:53,867 --> 00:57:56,703
I very much do believe
in real businesses.
921
00:57:56,738 --> 00:57:59,640
But the question is what
is the business model?
922
00:57:59,675 --> 00:58:04,271
Is the business model
earning billions every year
923
00:58:04,306 --> 00:58:08,979
and, you know, growing
100% every six months?
924
00:58:10,554 --> 00:58:13,522
I don't think the
world works like that.
925
00:58:13,557 --> 00:58:15,953
So how does it work?
926
00:58:15,988 --> 00:58:18,857
Doc sent me to meet his
friends at Moleskine,
927
00:58:18,892 --> 00:58:22,025
probably analog's
greatest success story.
928
00:58:22,060 --> 00:58:24,863
They had just saved
something themselves.
929
00:58:24,898 --> 00:58:26,260
Fratelli Bonvini,
930
00:58:26,295 --> 00:58:30,099
Milan's oldest stationary
shop and printers.
931
00:58:44,082 --> 00:58:46,082
Analog, we are analog.
932
00:58:47,052 --> 00:58:49,019
We are something very physical.
933
00:58:50,726 --> 00:58:54,563
So analog is not thinking.
934
00:58:55,225 --> 00:58:58,094
It's a real thing.
935
00:58:58,129 --> 00:59:00,030
Handwriting, for example,
936
00:59:00,065 --> 00:59:03,231
many schools, especially
in the United States,
937
00:59:03,266 --> 00:59:08,137
started to eliminate the
teaching of handwriting
938
00:59:08,172 --> 00:59:10,172
in the primary school.
939
00:59:10,207 --> 00:59:15,078
And then neuroscientists
started to underline
940
00:59:15,113 --> 00:59:18,246
the fact that a
difficult learning
941
00:59:18,281 --> 00:59:21,953
of this kind of physical gesture
942
00:59:21,988 --> 00:59:26,991
is something that is implying
a wider part of our brain
943
00:59:28,159 --> 00:59:31,831
because physical
is hard, is heavy,
944
00:59:31,866 --> 00:59:36,869
is something difficult
to learn, to manage.
945
00:59:50,181 --> 00:59:52,346
This is bringing
us to access a knowledge,
946
00:59:52,381 --> 00:59:55,657
experience and the
special emotions
947
00:59:55,692 --> 00:59:59,760
and the capacity of
deep understanding.
948
01:00:34,863 --> 01:00:37,930
As a child, I was always
fascinated by science fiction.
949
01:00:37,965 --> 01:00:39,833
I love my iPhone,
950
01:00:39,868 --> 01:00:43,265
but you know, the very
success of Moleskine
951
01:00:43,300 --> 01:00:45,366
has been through technology
952
01:00:45,401 --> 01:00:48,369
because people
suddenly discovered
953
01:00:48,404 --> 01:00:52,175
that they could do
their writing on paper
954
01:00:52,210 --> 01:00:55,948
but at the same time,
showing it, sharing it
955
01:00:55,983 --> 01:00:58,412
and creating
communities around that
956
01:00:58,447 --> 01:01:02,251
through technology
and through digital.
957
01:01:30,248 --> 01:01:33,315
We think that this
opportunity is for the future.
958
01:01:34,483 --> 01:01:38,419
Of course, we are a
sort of natural place
959
01:01:38,454 --> 01:01:43,358
for designer or younger
creative people here,
960
01:01:45,065 --> 01:01:46,231
but not only.
961
01:01:46,266 --> 01:01:51,102
Yesterday night, a client saying
sometimes I'm entering here
962
01:01:51,137 --> 01:01:55,909
just to smell the different
flowers that you have here,
963
01:01:55,944 --> 01:01:59,209
the wood, the ink, the paper.
964
01:01:59,244 --> 01:02:01,475
This is not a museum for sure.
965
01:02:31,144 --> 01:02:32,913
Dreamers need partners
966
01:02:32,948 --> 01:02:35,377
to help them make
the dreams come true,
967
01:02:35,412 --> 01:02:38,479
ideally with deep
pockets to match.
968
01:02:42,859 --> 01:02:44,452
Christmas in Vienna.
969
01:02:44,487 --> 01:02:47,158
This is the analog
capital of Europe,
970
01:02:47,193 --> 01:02:49,490
if not the analog
capital of the world.
971
01:02:49,525 --> 01:02:50,525
Oh, I can't wait.
972
01:02:50,559 --> 01:02:51,559
I know, I know.
973
01:02:54,035 --> 01:02:56,838
Doc had invited
David Burnett and his team
974
01:02:56,873 --> 01:03:00,842
to discuss investment
opportunities in vinyl.
975
01:03:04,848 --> 01:03:06,309
So welcome.
976
01:03:06,344 --> 01:03:07,442
Wow, this is it?
977
01:03:07,477 --> 01:03:08,916
- That's it.
- Wow.
978
01:03:08,951 --> 01:03:12,887
Now, it's still under
development, but yeah.
979
01:03:12,922 --> 01:03:14,856
So basically the first room,
980
01:03:14,891 --> 01:03:18,552
this is where Flo is
gonna work on this cluster
981
01:03:18,587 --> 01:03:20,829
and then on the right side,
982
01:03:20,864 --> 01:03:23,491
we have the printing area
we're gonna see later.
983
01:03:23,526 --> 01:03:27,066
But first, I have to show
you a very special thing
984
01:03:27,101 --> 01:03:30,036
because you knew Seeburg 1000
985
01:03:30,071 --> 01:03:32,841
and this is also from
the family of Seeburg.
986
01:03:33,569 --> 01:03:34,601
Does it work?
987
01:03:34,636 --> 01:03:36,504
Of course it works.
988
01:03:36,539 --> 01:03:37,923
You remember nothing
that doesn't work.
989
01:03:37,947 --> 01:03:39,342
I know.
990
01:03:39,377 --> 01:03:40,277
I mean I've seen
pictures of this.
991
01:03:40,312 --> 01:03:41,278
I've never seen one in person.
992
01:03:41,313 --> 01:03:43,247
Layla, this is so cool.
993
01:03:43,282 --> 01:03:44,479
This is incredible.
994
01:03:44,514 --> 01:03:46,195
We have to build our own
formal cut, you know?
995
01:03:46,219 --> 01:03:47,922
Absolutely.
996
01:03:47,957 --> 01:03:48,890
Gonna meet Anna.
997
01:03:48,925 --> 01:03:50,254
Hi, David.
998
01:03:50,289 --> 01:03:52,861
At the same time, when
we do the recording,
999
01:03:52,896 --> 01:03:53,962
we produce all the covers.
1000
01:03:53,997 --> 01:03:58,559
So we have developed a very
special cover that comes-
1001
01:03:58,594 --> 01:04:01,628
David was one of the
Internet's first millionaires,
1002
01:04:01,663 --> 01:04:03,905
a digital pioneer.
1003
01:04:03,940 --> 01:04:05,073
In the '90s,
1004
01:04:05,108 --> 01:04:09,504
he had invented GeoCities, an
early social media platform.
1005
01:04:09,539 --> 01:04:13,277
But lately, David had fallen
back in love with analog.
1006
01:04:15,347 --> 01:04:16,347
- Go, go, go.
- Go, go.
1007
01:04:19,989 --> 01:04:20,581
I'm gonna go
with the red button.
1008
01:04:20,616 --> 01:04:21,417
You changed the world.
1009
01:04:21,452 --> 01:04:22,352
- Okay?
- Okay.
1010
01:04:22,387 --> 01:04:23,958
I go for the black button.
1011
01:04:23,993 --> 01:04:24,893
Okay.
1012
01:04:24,928 --> 01:04:25,928
One, two, three.
1013
01:04:29,592 --> 01:04:32,263
Very good, very good, very good.
1014
01:04:33,497 --> 01:04:34,628
Thank you.
1015
01:04:34,663 --> 01:04:35,464
The smell, you know again?
1016
01:04:35,499 --> 01:04:36,905
The acid.
1017
01:04:36,940 --> 01:04:38,632
I think the new
definition of luxury
1018
01:04:38,667 --> 01:04:41,976
is not necessarily
jewelry and watches.
1019
01:04:42,011 --> 01:04:44,374
It's the curated experiences.
1020
01:04:44,409 --> 01:04:46,640
It's the authentic
one-of-a-kind experiences
1021
01:04:46,675 --> 01:04:48,411
that analog provide,
1022
01:04:48,446 --> 01:04:51,051
a custom photograph,
a custom record.
1023
01:04:51,086 --> 01:04:54,615
You have to smell it because
this is an incredible smell.
1024
01:04:56,025 --> 01:04:58,058
You don't have to listen.
1025
01:04:58,093 --> 01:04:59,961
The resolution's so crisp.
1026
01:04:59,996 --> 01:05:01,600
Because it's one-to-one, it's
not an enlargement.
1027
01:05:01,624 --> 01:05:03,998
Oh it's one-to-one, right.
1028
01:05:04,033 --> 01:05:04,865
Do we roll 'em up
after it dries?
1029
01:05:04,901 --> 01:05:06,462
Yeah, yeah,
yeah after it drives.
1030
01:05:06,497 --> 01:05:07,969
- Push on.
- Push on, yep.
1031
01:05:08,004 --> 01:05:09,102
Or this off.
1032
01:05:09,137 --> 01:05:10,972
- Push on.
- Okay then photo.
1033
01:05:11,007 --> 01:05:12,908
Photo, and it's zero, one.
1034
01:05:14,241 --> 01:05:15,944
You can hear it working.
1035
01:05:15,979 --> 01:05:17,506
You can even see it working.
1036
01:05:17,541 --> 01:05:18,541
- Really?
- Yeah.
1037
01:05:19,477 --> 01:05:22,115
Oh my God, it's so cool.
1038
01:05:23,085 --> 01:05:24,051
It's a whole jukebox
1039
01:05:24,086 --> 01:05:27,186
in a very stylish cabinet.
1040
01:05:27,221 --> 01:05:28,253
And you can program it.
1041
01:05:28,288 --> 01:05:30,453
So you really can, you know,
1042
01:05:30,488 --> 01:05:31,498
when you have a romantic dinner,
1043
01:05:31,522 --> 01:05:33,060
you program it
1044
01:05:33,095 --> 01:05:36,360
and then you have three
hours continuously.
1045
01:05:36,395 --> 01:05:39,462
Oh look, look at the
movement right there.
1046
01:05:39,497 --> 01:05:41,002
Isn't that beautiful?
1047
01:06:34,123 --> 01:06:35,364
I just want to say,
thank you, everybody.
1048
01:06:35,388 --> 01:06:39,324
This has been a fantastic
series of performances
1049
01:06:39,359 --> 01:06:41,656
of classic and new music
1050
01:06:41,691 --> 01:06:46,694
here in the Supersense
Analog Palace in Vienna.
1051
01:06:47,730 --> 01:06:52,139
Your magnificent playing has
been recorded right back there
1052
01:06:52,768 --> 01:06:54,141
direct to disc.
1053
01:06:54,176 --> 01:06:56,176
So this is not a pressing,
1054
01:06:56,211 --> 01:06:58,706
this is direct from
the microphones
1055
01:06:58,741 --> 01:07:01,313
to the cutting head to the disc,
1056
01:07:01,348 --> 01:07:03,414
which is unprecedented.
1057
01:07:03,449 --> 01:07:05,152
And I just want to say thank you
1058
01:07:05,187 --> 01:07:10,190
for being part of the renaissance of
this classic music
1059
01:07:11,556 --> 01:07:13,204
and the renaissance of analog
history here in Vienna.
1060
01:07:13,228 --> 01:07:15,162
So thank you very much.
1061
01:07:15,197 --> 01:07:16,197
Thank you.
1062
01:07:52,630 --> 01:07:53,860
At Impossible,
1063
01:07:53,895 --> 01:07:57,270
a negotiation was going
on behind closed doors.
1064
01:07:57,305 --> 01:08:00,636
It's the dream to reunite
The Impossible Project
1065
01:08:00,671 --> 01:08:02,704
with the Polaroid brand.
1066
01:08:02,739 --> 01:08:06,345
If this works out, it
will be Slava and Oskar
1067
01:08:06,380 --> 01:08:08,314
who will make this dream happen.
1068
01:08:29,403 --> 01:08:30,270
Is everybody here?
1069
01:08:30,305 --> 01:08:31,370
Cool.
1070
01:08:31,405 --> 01:08:32,899
All right, so we can start.
1071
01:08:32,934 --> 01:08:36,309
So I think this
is the first time
1072
01:08:36,344 --> 01:08:38,311
where I don't feel
like I'm bullshitting
1073
01:08:38,346 --> 01:08:41,710
that I'm saying The Impossible
Project is a success.
1074
01:09:06,869 --> 01:09:08,407
Okay, so let's go through this.
1075
01:09:08,442 --> 01:09:11,608
So Polaroid acquired
by new ownership group
1076
01:09:11,643 --> 01:09:13,808
led by the Smolokowski family.
1077
01:09:13,843 --> 01:09:17,284
The new owners acquired
100% of the shares.
1078
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:19,649
Mr. Smolokowski is also
majority shareholder
1079
01:09:19,684 --> 01:09:20,914
of The Impossible Project,
1080
01:09:20,949 --> 01:09:22,322
the company that purchased
1081
01:09:22,357 --> 01:09:25,391
the last remaining
Polaroid factory in 2008
1082
01:09:25,426 --> 01:09:28,427
and continues to
manufacture instant film
1083
01:09:28,462 --> 01:09:30,429
for legacy Polaroid cameras.
1084
01:09:30,464 --> 01:09:32,398
The day we
flew the Polaroid flag
1085
01:09:32,433 --> 01:09:35,797
at the factory again was huge.
1086
01:09:56,919 --> 01:09:58,622
We're also very
pleased to welcome
1087
01:09:58,657 --> 01:10:00,921
the ownership group
to the Polaroid family
1088
01:10:00,956 --> 01:10:03,264
and excited to begin
writing the next chapter
1089
01:10:03,299 --> 01:10:04,859
in the story of
the Polaroid brand.
1090
01:10:23,616 --> 01:10:26,551
In 2008, obviously Doc
started The Impossible Project
1091
01:10:26,586 --> 01:10:31,589
and now in 2017, we're
becoming Polaroid,
1092
01:10:32,658 --> 01:10:33,954
which I honestly didn't expect.
1093
01:10:33,989 --> 01:10:35,494
Obviously, thanks to you guys.
1094
01:10:37,729 --> 01:10:40,829
It really felt
like a brand new company.
1095
01:10:40,864 --> 01:10:43,634
Finally, even the film worked.
1096
01:10:44,403 --> 01:10:46,604
You know Polaroid's
goal and Dr. Land's goal
1097
01:10:46,639 --> 01:10:48,606
for a camera like this was
1098
01:10:48,641 --> 01:10:51,807
this is the most important
part, this red button.
1099
01:10:51,842 --> 01:10:55,844
So if I, all I should have
to do is press the button.
1100
01:10:57,584 --> 01:10:59,617
This is our film that
we've been selling
1101
01:10:59,652 --> 01:11:02,356
and this is our new film.
1102
01:11:05,526 --> 01:11:06,392
The biggest thing I think
1103
01:11:06,427 --> 01:11:08,296
that a customer will
see right off the bat
1104
01:11:08,331 --> 01:11:10,463
is that it's a faster
developing film.
1105
01:11:10,498 --> 01:11:13,334
It's the most instant
film that we've made.
1106
01:11:13,369 --> 01:11:15,600
In my mind, it's
really the first film
1107
01:11:15,635 --> 01:11:17,767
that's worthy of
being called instant.
1108
01:11:17,802 --> 01:11:18,966
Is that important?
1109
01:11:19,001 --> 01:11:19,901
Yeah, it is.
1110
01:11:19,936 --> 01:11:21,375
If you think of a magician
1111
01:11:21,410 --> 01:11:22,970
who's gonna pull a
rabbit out of a hat,
1112
01:11:23,005 --> 01:11:25,577
well if it takes 20 minutes
for him to get it out,
1113
01:11:25,612 --> 01:11:28,679
chances are it's not gonna
be a very effective act.
1114
01:11:28,714 --> 01:11:30,582
But if it's fast,
1115
01:11:30,617 --> 01:11:32,980
then obviously it
makes a difference.
1116
01:11:33,015 --> 01:11:34,718
Here you can see
1117
01:11:34,753 --> 01:11:38,018
that there's already a
recognizable image here
1118
01:11:38,053 --> 01:11:39,921
and here there's nothing.
1119
01:11:39,956 --> 01:11:41,659
So at this point,
1120
01:11:41,694 --> 01:11:43,705
we're three or four minutes
into the development process
1121
01:11:43,729 --> 01:11:46,895
and you can now see this one
is fairly well-developed.
1122
01:11:46,930 --> 01:11:49,601
This is gonna be the new
Polaroid Originals film.
1123
01:11:51,902 --> 01:11:53,572
A customer doesn't
have to know anything
1124
01:11:53,607 --> 01:11:54,936
about the complexity
of the film.
1125
01:11:54,971 --> 01:11:57,015
All they have to know is how
to take it out of the carton
1126
01:11:57,039 --> 01:11:58,808
and put it into the camera.
1127
01:12:01,516 --> 01:12:03,714
The kind of three things
that have happened
1128
01:12:03,749 --> 01:12:07,080
that are really changing the
dynamics of the entire company.
1129
01:12:07,115 --> 01:12:10,622
One is the quality of the
film has gotten better
1130
01:12:10,657 --> 01:12:12,624
and it's finally
gotten more instant
1131
01:12:12,659 --> 01:12:13,801
and it's finally
gotten to be instant.
1132
01:12:13,825 --> 01:12:17,123
Another is that we
have a really nice
1133
01:12:17,158 --> 01:12:19,928
lower cost brand new camera.
1134
01:12:19,963 --> 01:12:21,897
And the third is that
we're combining those two
1135
01:12:21,932 --> 01:12:24,636
with this world famous brand.
1136
01:12:24,671 --> 01:12:28,706
And that's gonna change the
whole dynamics of the company.
1137
01:13:12,653 --> 01:13:14,785
We had witnessed
a bit of a miracle.
1138
01:13:14,820 --> 01:13:18,855
The 1940s tech was back in 2018.
1139
01:13:18,890 --> 01:13:22,892
It worked and it was
called Polaroid again.
1140
01:13:22,927 --> 01:13:26,896
Oskar and Doc had pulled
the rabbit from that hat.
1141
01:13:29,065 --> 01:13:30,735
I was 22 when
I joined the project
1142
01:13:30,770 --> 01:13:34,101
and obviously I had no idea
it would become my whole life.
1143
01:13:35,478 --> 01:13:36,686
I mean there were
years on the journey
1144
01:13:36,710 --> 01:13:38,908
where I definitely
wanted to quit.
1145
01:13:38,943 --> 01:13:41,911
But every year there
was more to be done
1146
01:13:41,946 --> 01:13:45,453
and it felt too important to
even think about anything else.
1147
01:13:46,122 --> 01:13:47,785
So before I knew it, I was 30
1148
01:13:47,820 --> 01:13:51,184
and this project indeed
became my whole life.
1149
01:13:51,219 --> 01:13:55,089
We are one big Polaroid
Impossible family today.
1150
01:14:05,805 --> 01:14:06,704
I wanted to thank everybody
1151
01:14:06,740 --> 01:14:08,872
who made Impossible
Project a reality today.
1152
01:14:08,907 --> 01:14:10,742
Thank you so much.
1153
01:14:13,043 --> 01:14:15,142
80 years ago to the day,
1154
01:14:15,177 --> 01:14:16,913
right here in New York,
1155
01:14:16,948 --> 01:14:20,950
Edwin Land had founded
the Polaroid Corporation.
1156
01:14:20,985 --> 01:14:23,887
How rare is it that
such a company,
1157
01:14:23,922 --> 01:14:28,694
analog and totally not Silicon
Valley rises from the ashes?
1158
01:14:29,363 --> 01:14:31,994
The underdog was proven right.
1159
01:14:32,931 --> 01:14:33,931
What an achievement.
1160
01:14:36,770 --> 01:14:38,803
Doc would have been proud.
1161
01:14:39,806 --> 01:14:43,071
But no one had made sure
he was there that night.
1162
01:14:55,822 --> 01:14:58,218
I was standing for the
romantic, passionate,
1163
01:14:58,253 --> 01:15:00,957
dreamy, crazy part.
1164
01:15:00,992 --> 01:15:03,091
That was super important
in the beginning.
1165
01:15:04,193 --> 01:15:06,699
I think it was a
beautiful love affair.
1166
01:15:06,734 --> 01:15:08,294
And as you know,
1167
01:15:08,329 --> 01:15:12,067
not everything goes very
easy in love affairs.
1168
01:15:13,873 --> 01:15:17,611
It had many twists
and many discussions
1169
01:15:17,646 --> 01:15:21,076
but it was a big challenge
with a lot of up and downs.
1170
01:15:24,081 --> 01:15:27,588
Of course, without shite and
failure and making mistakes
1171
01:15:27,623 --> 01:15:29,183
there is no progress.
1172
01:15:29,218 --> 01:15:31,856
But this is the thing,
you know, try it.
1173
01:15:32,525 --> 01:15:34,529
Is it the failure that I'm not,
1174
01:15:36,632 --> 01:15:39,897
or do I feel sad because
I'm not actively involved
1175
01:15:39,932 --> 01:15:41,063
in Polaroid nowadays?
1176
01:15:41,098 --> 01:15:43,637
Yeah sometimes yes, of course,
1177
01:15:43,672 --> 01:15:45,573
because I thought
this would be my dream
1178
01:15:45,608 --> 01:15:48,268
and especially I
promised to my wife,
1179
01:15:48,303 --> 01:15:49,874
this is the last project,
1180
01:15:49,909 --> 01:15:52,107
you know, this
time it works out.
1181
01:15:52,142 --> 01:15:54,978
But on the other hand, I
would never be sitting here
1182
01:15:56,685 --> 01:15:58,949
if things had not
evolved like that
1183
01:15:58,984 --> 01:16:03,283
and I have the feeling, okay,
the whole Polaroid story,
1184
01:16:03,318 --> 01:16:05,351
maybe this was just the warmup
1185
01:16:05,386 --> 01:16:07,793
for many other projects to do.
1186
01:16:07,828 --> 01:16:08,992
There are many other places
1187
01:16:09,027 --> 01:16:11,027
to take care that they
are not vanishing.
1188
01:16:13,999 --> 01:16:15,900
I think I scare a lot of people,
1189
01:16:16,569 --> 01:16:19,266
but my hope is that some people
1190
01:16:19,301 --> 01:16:21,136
are inspired to
think out of the box
1191
01:16:21,171 --> 01:16:25,943
and maybe try things that
at first are impossible.
1192
01:16:29,685 --> 01:16:31,212
It didn't take Doc long
1193
01:16:31,247 --> 01:16:34,314
to find a new
impossible love affair,
1194
01:16:34,349 --> 01:16:36,624
the most analog place
1195
01:16:36,659 --> 01:16:39,759
he had ever laid his
eyes on needed saving,
1196
01:16:39,794 --> 01:16:42,927
a 1902 car hotel outside Vienna
1197
01:16:42,962 --> 01:16:47,767
that had stood empty but fully
functional since the 1970s
1198
01:16:47,802 --> 01:16:52,266
waiting for the right Doc
Quixote to kiss it back to life.
1199
01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:00,307
This is Südbahnhotel
up in Semmering,
1200
01:17:00,342 --> 01:17:02,683
a very special car
hotel close to Vienna
1201
01:17:02,718 --> 01:17:07,281
and the last guest
checked out 42 years ago.
1202
01:17:08,251 --> 01:17:09,855
It's part of a crazy vision
1203
01:17:09,890 --> 01:17:13,958
of bringing analog treasures
and pleasures to the people
1204
01:17:13,993 --> 01:17:15,421
and help people remember
1205
01:17:15,456 --> 01:17:18,193
that places like that
built over centuries
1206
01:17:18,228 --> 01:17:20,701
are important, even
in a digital world.
1207
01:17:21,704 --> 01:17:23,231
We have to open this hotel.
1208
01:17:23,266 --> 01:17:24,672
It's not a question.
1209
01:17:24,707 --> 01:17:26,168
It's not even think about it.
1210
01:17:44,188 --> 01:17:48,157
As you can imagine, my wife
kills me because she says,
1211
01:17:48,192 --> 01:17:51,798
"Can you finally
concentrate on one thing?
1212
01:17:51,833 --> 01:17:56,264
Can you do one thing and
you know, have it done?"
1213
01:17:56,299 --> 01:17:58,200
And I just say,
1214
01:17:58,235 --> 01:18:00,466
"It's always exactly
the same thing.
1215
01:18:00,501 --> 01:18:03,436
This is exactly what
it is all about."
1216
01:18:12,051 --> 01:18:14,348
The owners love this hotel,
1217
01:18:14,383 --> 01:18:17,417
but every McKinsey consultant
has been telling them
1218
01:18:17,452 --> 01:18:19,452
it's impossible to reopen,
1219
01:18:19,487 --> 01:18:23,390
uneconomical, not
profitable, blah, blah, blah.
1220
01:18:23,425 --> 01:18:28,032
Until Doc came along with
his style of business plan.
1221
01:18:28,067 --> 01:18:30,903
Just give it a good clean,
don't change a thing,
1222
01:18:30,938 --> 01:18:33,202
it's perfect already,
can't you see?
1223
01:18:59,494 --> 01:19:02,968
Saving the Südbahnhotel
would require passion
1224
01:19:03,003 --> 01:19:04,398
and a lot of money.
1225
01:19:04,433 --> 01:19:08,501
Doc had plenty of the former
and none of the latter.
1226
01:19:08,536 --> 01:19:13,110
But then he got an email from
the most unlikely of senders.
1227
01:19:15,543 --> 01:19:19,083
Doc was headed to Silicon
Valley of all places
1228
01:19:19,118 --> 01:19:23,450
and there, rather less
impressively located in a swamp,
1229
01:19:23,485 --> 01:19:26,761
sat one of the world's
largest companies ever.
1230
01:19:38,269 --> 01:19:40,566
The whole world had begun
wondering about Facebook,
1231
01:19:40,601 --> 01:19:44,273
but few people had seen
it from the inside.
1232
01:19:44,308 --> 01:19:46,847
Doc strolled right in.
1233
01:19:46,882 --> 01:19:49,146
He had a question for
Mark and his team.
1234
01:19:52,514 --> 01:19:54,580
I don't know exactly
what will happen
1235
01:19:54,615 --> 01:19:58,023
but I have a feeling it's
just important to keep going.
1236
01:19:58,058 --> 01:19:59,860
It's a big question.
1237
01:19:59,895 --> 01:20:01,488
And even the guys
who founded it said,
1238
01:20:01,523 --> 01:20:03,061
"Okay, this is out of control."
1239
01:20:04,163 --> 01:20:05,591
In the beginning,
1240
01:20:05,626 --> 01:20:08,066
when we started a film with
the Impossible factory,
1241
01:20:08,101 --> 01:20:10,233
this was a universe
that didn't care.
1242
01:20:10,268 --> 01:20:13,874
And over the years, this
has totally changed.
1243
01:20:13,909 --> 01:20:16,844
Everybody called me crazy.
1244
01:20:16,879 --> 01:20:18,318
And now I think
more and more people
1245
01:20:18,342 --> 01:20:21,211
think Facebook is crazy
and out of their mind.
1246
01:20:24,018 --> 01:20:25,446
It was Scott Bones
1247
01:20:25,481 --> 01:20:29,956
of something with the promising
name of Analog Research Lab
1248
01:20:29,991 --> 01:20:31,254
who had got in touch.
1249
01:20:31,289 --> 01:20:32,422
"Dear Doc,
1250
01:20:32,457 --> 01:20:34,301
The mission you're on and the
story you're looking to tell
1251
01:20:34,325 --> 01:20:35,555
is very close to my heart
1252
01:20:35,590 --> 01:20:37,931
and right in our sweet
spot here at Facebook.
1253
01:20:37,966 --> 01:20:39,471
This is a very different
kind of project
1254
01:20:39,495 --> 01:20:41,363
so I'm not even
sure where to start.
1255
01:20:41,398 --> 01:20:43,376
A few of us had an interesting
meeting on Wednesday
1256
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,235
that ties into things like this
1257
01:20:45,270 --> 01:20:47,600
and we'd absolutely love
to have you out to visit
1258
01:20:47,635 --> 01:20:49,041
and talk more with us.
1259
01:20:49,076 --> 01:20:50,636
We're actively
pursuing opportunities
1260
01:20:50,671 --> 01:20:53,881
to reach out into the real
world in a positive way
1261
01:20:53,916 --> 01:20:55,619
and have stories like
this that we can share,
1262
01:20:55,643 --> 01:20:57,445
especially as I feel
like we're in the middle
1263
01:20:57,480 --> 01:20:59,986
of a really important
moment in time right now.
1264
01:21:02,089 --> 01:21:03,385
Talk soon, Scott."
1265
01:21:06,555 --> 01:21:07,928
"Yes Scott,
1266
01:21:07,963 --> 01:21:10,656
your words, even if
just received digitally
1267
01:21:10,691 --> 01:21:13,967
are full of delicious
analog energy
1268
01:21:14,002 --> 01:21:18,400
and I urgently need to meet
you again and dive deeper.
1269
01:21:18,435 --> 01:21:22,140
I 150% agree that
Facebook urgently
1270
01:21:22,175 --> 01:21:27,013
need a deep cultural
consciousness",
1271
01:21:27,048 --> 01:21:30,247
I probably looked this
up in the dictionary,
1272
01:21:30,282 --> 01:21:32,381
"Reconnecting you
to the real world
1273
01:21:32,416 --> 01:21:34,988
and all your fantastic senses.
1274
01:21:35,023 --> 01:21:37,650
Can't wait to discuss
this face to face.
1275
01:21:37,685 --> 01:21:39,927
Excited talk."
1276
01:21:48,498 --> 01:21:50,135
Think different.
1277
01:21:50,170 --> 01:21:52,071
That was once the motto here
1278
01:21:52,106 --> 01:21:54,975
in the land of Google,
Facebook and Apple,
1279
01:21:55,010 --> 01:21:58,176
the cradle of our digital world.
1280
01:21:58,211 --> 01:22:00,277
Doc came to remind them of it.
1281
01:22:01,676 --> 01:22:03,016
These companies,
1282
01:22:03,051 --> 01:22:06,184
they start building
a parallel universe.
1283
01:22:07,649 --> 01:22:09,220
All these employees there,
1284
01:22:09,255 --> 01:22:10,683
basically, there's no reason
1285
01:22:10,718 --> 01:22:13,455
for them to live or think
outside that universe.
1286
01:22:15,129 --> 01:22:18,966
So how can they solve the
problems in the real world
1287
01:22:19,001 --> 01:22:20,561
when they don't
even know about it?
1288
01:22:23,104 --> 01:22:24,499
Yeah, just a website.
1289
01:22:26,140 --> 01:22:29,702
10,000 people are working
on one website, it's crazy.
1290
01:22:33,378 --> 01:22:36,445
Somehow it felt like
being in a movie.
1291
01:22:36,480 --> 01:22:39,613
It's not at all
connected to reality.
1292
01:22:44,224 --> 01:22:46,323
Yes, in a genuine
1293
01:22:46,358 --> 01:22:49,161
life is stranger
than fiction turn,
1294
01:22:49,196 --> 01:22:50,657
Doc discovered that
1295
01:22:50,692 --> 01:22:53,396
at the very center of
Facebook headquarters
1296
01:22:53,431 --> 01:22:55,365
where you would least expect it,
1297
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:58,368
there really was an
analog heart beating.
1298
01:23:01,637 --> 01:23:02,677
- Hello, welcome.
- Hello.
1299
01:23:04,178 --> 01:23:05,375
I'm Dana Martin.
1300
01:23:05,410 --> 01:23:07,344
I'm the programming
manager here at Facebook.
1301
01:23:07,379 --> 01:23:08,543
Doc hey.
1302
01:23:08,578 --> 01:23:10,226
I'm Scott Bones, I'm
the graphic design lead
1303
01:23:10,250 --> 01:23:12,349
here at Facebook in the
Analog Research Lab.
1304
01:23:12,384 --> 01:23:15,220
Wow, thank you so much
for having me here
1305
01:23:15,255 --> 01:23:18,091
on this I think
very special place.
1306
01:23:18,126 --> 01:23:19,488
Yeah, very happy to have you.
1307
01:23:20,359 --> 01:23:22,194
How can this be, honestly?
1308
01:23:23,626 --> 01:23:27,265
It's quite a treat to have
a creative space like this
1309
01:23:27,300 --> 01:23:29,333
at a digital company.
1310
01:23:29,368 --> 01:23:31,368
I think it really
is important for us
1311
01:23:31,403 --> 01:23:33,513
when we're trying to build
bridges within our community
1312
01:23:33,537 --> 01:23:36,208
and it definitely
expands to our mission
1313
01:23:36,243 --> 01:23:38,375
and our goal of connecting
the whole world.
1314
01:23:40,181 --> 01:23:41,719
We definitely fit
into Facebook culture
1315
01:23:41,743 --> 01:23:44,480
and we've been called the
heart and soul of Facebook.
1316
01:23:44,515 --> 01:23:47,219
And Facebook's mission is
to connect the whole world
1317
01:23:47,254 --> 01:23:48,759
and bring the whole
world closer together.
1318
01:23:48,783 --> 01:23:50,783
I think analog and research
1319
01:23:50,818 --> 01:23:53,720
really speaks to how we
want people to slow down.
1320
01:23:53,755 --> 01:23:55,260
Humans are the only animal
1321
01:23:55,295 --> 01:23:58,164
that can not only think
of what is but what isn't.
1322
01:23:58,199 --> 01:24:01,398
So we can see the impossible
and bring it to fruition.
1323
01:24:01,433 --> 01:24:04,731
I really love the name
Analog Research Lab.
1324
01:24:04,766 --> 01:24:07,272
And what would be your
answer when I ask you,
1325
01:24:07,307 --> 01:24:09,241
what is the smell of Facebook?
1326
01:24:10,177 --> 01:24:12,805
I think it would be different
for different people.
1327
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,215
I mean in here we
come in and we smell
1328
01:24:17,416 --> 01:24:19,548
the dust that settles
on things in the room
1329
01:24:19,583 --> 01:24:23,552
or a can of ink
or a can of paint.
1330
01:24:23,587 --> 01:24:24,751
Are we talking about
1331
01:24:24,786 --> 01:24:27,622
the people working
here as a community or?
1332
01:24:27,657 --> 01:24:30,295
I find myself spending
less time online
1333
01:24:30,330 --> 01:24:32,792
than I think I did before
I started working here,
1334
01:24:32,827 --> 01:24:33,926
which is a little ironic.
1335
01:24:33,962 --> 01:24:38,105
But I think that just speaks
to how much we really value
1336
01:24:38,140 --> 01:24:40,371
and how we want to
impact the world.
1337
01:24:59,260 --> 01:25:04,263
So, Facebook had a
soul after all and a smell?
1338
01:25:04,793 --> 01:25:06,199
Doc wasn't so sure,
1339
01:25:06,234 --> 01:25:08,432
but always one for
going the other way,
1340
01:25:08,467 --> 01:25:10,401
he put it to a test.
1341
01:25:10,436 --> 01:25:13,701
He attempted some kind
of analog judo grip.
1342
01:25:13,736 --> 01:25:16,638
Doc's plan was to
persuade Facebook
1343
01:25:16,673 --> 01:25:21,445
to cohost his long cherished
Analog Superheroes Dinner
1344
01:25:21,480 --> 01:25:23,117
at the Südbahnhotel.
1345
01:25:24,318 --> 01:25:25,358
So this is our invitation?
1346
01:25:25,385 --> 01:25:26,747
Invitation for the big evening
1347
01:25:26,782 --> 01:25:28,749
that will change the
future of analog.
1348
01:25:30,588 --> 01:25:33,358
But we have to talk about
the guest list, right?
1349
01:25:33,393 --> 01:25:34,854
12 people.
1350
01:25:34,889 --> 01:25:36,372
12 to 15 I think was
sort of the magic,
1351
01:25:36,396 --> 01:25:37,824
seemed like the magic number.
1352
01:25:42,237 --> 01:25:44,171
Yeah, this is a dinner menu,
1353
01:25:44,206 --> 01:25:47,933
not boring food, but
food for thought.
1354
01:25:47,968 --> 01:25:49,506
Yeah, exactly, very good.
1355
01:25:49,541 --> 01:25:51,541
So we thought it's
not just about
1356
01:25:51,576 --> 01:25:53,279
sitting together and being nice,
1357
01:25:53,314 --> 01:25:56,282
but we have some
really crucial answers.
1358
01:25:56,317 --> 01:25:58,548
How does digital smell?
1359
01:25:58,583 --> 01:26:00,517
Does digital make any sense?
1360
01:26:01,883 --> 01:26:03,553
After a long period
1361
01:26:03,588 --> 01:26:06,292
of analog companies trying
hard to become digital,
1362
01:26:06,327 --> 01:26:09,460
I think it's now time
for the digital companies
1363
01:26:09,495 --> 01:26:12,463
to start thinking of how
to connect with people
1364
01:26:12,498 --> 01:26:14,333
in analog ways.
1365
01:26:14,368 --> 01:26:15,467
So here we go.
1366
01:26:15,503 --> 01:26:18,634
You can already kind of see
some of the image on there.
1367
01:26:18,669 --> 01:26:20,240
It looks very harmonic.
1368
01:26:20,275 --> 01:26:22,440
Yes and there
is a harmony to it.
1369
01:26:22,475 --> 01:26:25,905
We're mixing up something
that started digital
1370
01:26:25,940 --> 01:26:28,248
and it's transforming
back to analog.
1371
01:26:28,283 --> 01:26:31,185
This is something you
can't do digitally.
1372
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:32,978
I take a picture.
1373
01:26:33,013 --> 01:26:34,254
This is fine for you?
1374
01:26:34,289 --> 01:26:35,289
Yeah.
1375
01:26:36,291 --> 01:26:37,521
Don't move, don't move.
1376
01:26:37,556 --> 01:26:40,590
It's black and white film,
Scott, unfortunately.
1377
01:26:44,299 --> 01:26:45,562
Okay.
1378
01:26:45,597 --> 01:26:48,235
So these two colors stand
for analog and digital.
1379
01:26:48,270 --> 01:26:51,238
I think the analog should
be the bright color.
1380
01:26:54,573 --> 01:26:57,475
This is not about
good or bad or evil
1381
01:26:57,510 --> 01:27:00,808
This is about how
can we create a world
1382
01:27:00,843 --> 01:27:02,612
where there's a balance again.
1383
01:27:05,386 --> 01:27:06,682
This is the future baby.
1384
01:27:07,718 --> 01:27:08,718
Look at it.
1385
01:27:11,755 --> 01:27:16,626
Why I end up co-hosting this
amazing evening with Facebook,
1386
01:27:17,860 --> 01:27:20,597
you know a lot of bad
things are happening.
1387
01:27:20,632 --> 01:27:24,733
But again, I think this
is the perfect moment
1388
01:27:24,768 --> 01:27:26,735
to start acting against it.
1389
01:27:27,705 --> 01:27:28,604
This is not just about Facebook.
1390
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:31,971
This is about if you
want to change the world
1391
01:27:32,006 --> 01:27:35,513
you should sit together with
the biggest companies on Earth
1392
01:27:35,548 --> 01:27:36,679
to change something.
1393
01:27:36,714 --> 01:27:39,352
Because with my
friends and old guys,
1394
01:27:39,387 --> 01:27:41,519
we can sit together
having many beers,
1395
01:27:41,554 --> 01:27:43,290
but we will never
change the world.
1396
01:27:46,020 --> 01:27:47,723
Okay, everyone ready?
1397
01:27:47,758 --> 01:27:48,790
Roll sound.
1398
01:27:49,727 --> 01:27:50,957
Roll camera.
1399
01:27:50,992 --> 01:27:52,497
He did it.
1400
01:27:52,532 --> 01:27:53,927
After 42 years,
1401
01:27:53,962 --> 01:27:58,063
Doc had opened the doors to
the Südbahnhotel once again.
1402
01:27:58,098 --> 01:28:01,671
Facebook, Moleskine,
Supersense, Polaroid,
1403
01:28:01,706 --> 01:28:05,972
everyone he wanted to work
together was coming together,
1404
01:28:06,007 --> 01:28:09,514
at least for one
larger than life night
1405
01:28:09,549 --> 01:28:12,044
of enjoying all five senses.
1406
01:28:14,048 --> 01:28:16,719
How can you not
see people sitting here
1407
01:28:16,754 --> 01:28:19,051
having a nice glass of wine,
1408
01:28:19,086 --> 01:28:20,888
walk around this hotel
1409
01:28:20,923 --> 01:28:23,022
and look and have

of all the things
that happened here?
1411
01:28:24,828 --> 01:28:25,761
It's like cinema.
1412
01:28:25,796 --> 01:28:28,500
It's like you are in the movie.

because I was in
love with this hotel.
1427
01:29:16,583 --> 01:29:19,815
What more do you need
than you feel happy here
1428
01:29:19,850 --> 01:29:23,456
even if there's no heating
and there's no wine,
1429
01:29:23,491 --> 01:29:24,688
there's no service?
1430
01:29:24,723 --> 01:29:27,394
Nobody is here, but
already you feel happy
1431
01:29:27,429 --> 01:29:28,857
and you can spend hours here.
1432
01:29:30,498 --> 01:29:34,060
You don't need to study
hotel science for 15 years
1433
01:29:34,095 --> 01:29:36,469

is a magic place.

It was an evening
about celebrating
1445
01:30:14,036 --> 01:30:16,036
everything Doc stands for,
1446
01:30:16,071 --> 01:30:18,709
about falling in love
again with analog
1447
01:30:18,744 --> 01:30:22,009
and the idea that our
lives could be less cold
1448
01:30:22,044 --> 01:30:26,046
if we chose in our
projects more impossible.

1450

♪ When my words get

♪ Oh yeah ♪
1452
01:30:41,096 --> 01:30:43,899
People are sitting
controlled by their computer,
1453
01:30:43,934 --> 01:30:45,835
that's our future.
1454
01:30:45,870 --> 01:30:46,836
There are people in photography
1455
01:30:46,871 --> 01:30:48,684
that are doing beautiful
work, photography work-
1456
01:30:48,708 --> 01:30:51,676
That effort part of it
is really important.
1457
01:30:51,711 --> 01:30:53,975
Thank you everybody for coming.
1458
01:30:54,010 --> 01:30:56,208
It's I think a very
important evening
1459
01:30:56,243 --> 01:30:59,651
but hopefully there
should be some fun.
1460
01:30:59,686 --> 01:31:00,982
I have been asked several times
1461
01:31:01,017 --> 01:31:03,182
what exactly is the
plan for tonight?
1462
01:31:03,217 --> 01:31:05,657
We need more
Doc's in this world.
1463
01:31:05,692 --> 01:31:08,253
It's important to
support the people
1464
01:31:08,288 --> 01:31:10,992
doing good work with
fundamentally good values.
1465
01:31:13,700 --> 01:31:17,097
My question is is
there a role of digital
1466
01:31:17,132 --> 01:31:19,605
making this world
a better place?
1467
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:21,574
Digital technology in general
1468
01:31:21,609 --> 01:31:23,675
is at the infancy.
1469
01:31:23,710 --> 01:31:28,713
In terms of getting
shit done, it's better.
1470
01:31:29,914 --> 01:31:30,814
We think our
customers are idiots.
1471
01:31:30,849 --> 01:31:32,046
What are you saying?
1472
01:31:32,081 --> 01:31:33,289
I mean we could talk
about digital and analog,
1473
01:31:33,313 --> 01:31:36,523
but the balance of all
things good and evil
1474
01:31:36,558 --> 01:31:40,021
boils down to give people
something real, they grab it.
1475
01:31:40,056 --> 01:31:42,023
What makes us fucking human?
1476
01:31:42,058 --> 01:31:44,960
What makes us human is that
we still have emotions.
1477
01:31:44,995 --> 01:31:46,962
And if we forgot what
the emotions mean,
1478
01:31:46,997 --> 01:31:49,635
let's at least trigger
each other to have
1479
01:31:49,670 --> 01:31:50,911
- those emotions.
- I don't think
1480
01:31:50,935 --> 01:31:51,736
we have to pit them
against each other.
1481
01:31:51,771 --> 01:31:52,572
We don't have to choose.
1482
01:31:52,607 --> 01:31:54,134
We can have both.
1483
01:31:54,169 --> 01:31:57,203
But the problem is we would
not be able to look at both
1484
01:31:57,238 --> 01:32:00,844
if not some people
stand up and do shit
1485
01:32:00,879 --> 01:32:03,176
that nobody else is doing.
1486
01:32:03,211 --> 01:32:05,618
I don't even know for myself
1487
01:32:05,653 --> 01:32:07,587
will I ever succeed
1488
01:32:07,622 --> 01:32:10,084
and not wake up every week
1489
01:32:10,119 --> 01:32:13,087
not knowing exactly
how to pay the bills?
1490
01:32:13,122 --> 01:32:14,924
Analog, digital,
I cannot hear it anymore.
1491
01:32:14,959 --> 01:32:17,564
It's like thinking
about sustainability,
1492
01:32:17,599 --> 01:32:20,160
love and hate and
like and dislike.
1493
01:32:20,195 --> 01:32:22,800
It's so overdigested, you know?
1494
01:32:31,239 --> 01:32:33,272
My wife tends to the theory
1495
01:32:33,307 --> 01:32:36,682
that I'm one of the
world's biggest losers
1496
01:32:36,717 --> 01:32:38,013
at the end of the day
1497
01:32:38,048 --> 01:32:39,718
and I tend to think of
1498
01:32:39,753 --> 01:32:42,985
that I'm one of the most
successful visionaries.
1499
01:32:43,020 --> 01:32:47,627
Maybe in one more difficult year
1500
01:32:47,662 --> 01:32:52,324
or two difficult years
or 10, we will find out.
1501
01:33:04,679 --> 01:33:05,711
Who cares?
1502
01:33:05,746 --> 01:33:07,174
You care
1503
01:33:07,209 --> 01:33:10,342
You are shooting on 35
millimeter, you know?
1504
01:33:13,380 --> 01:33:14,181
Who cares?
1505
01:33:14,216 --> 01:33:15,017
I'm talking about-
1506
01:33:15,052 --> 01:33:15,853
Everybody cares.
1507
01:33:15,888 --> 01:33:17,954
Everybody cares.
1508
01:33:17,989 --> 01:33:20,253
Especially the young
generation cares.
1509
01:33:20,288 --> 01:33:25,093
When they start to roast
their own coffees, they care.
1510
01:33:25,128 --> 01:33:29,361
They just don't know that
places like this exist so-
1511
01:33:31,431 --> 01:33:33,772
Sorry Doc, it's not a business.
1512
01:33:33,807 --> 01:33:35,136
A business?
1513
01:33:35,171 --> 01:33:36,808
What is a business?
1514
01:33:38,306 --> 01:33:39,844
Business?
1515
01:33:39,879 --> 01:33:42,341
What is a business?
1516
01:33:42,376 --> 01:33:44,981
What counts, in what
world business counts?
1517
01:33:46,314 --> 01:33:48,116
No, I don't believe in that.
