Film is more than just an image. It is a process. It is dedication. It is thought and planning and execution. An image on film is crafted. It is personal. In a world of instant gratification and perfection, film stands apart. Film takes time. It is real. It is tangible. It isn’t simply about capturing every moment, it is about capturing a moment. It is special and unique.



Film is important and is worth saving. It teaches us the rudimentary processes of photography, a work ethic and an appreciation for the craft. From the simplicity of a pinhole camera to a twin lens reflex, the basics are uniform. In order to produce a film photograph you need knowledge and understanding. An image from film is earned.



Phoenix Film Revival seeks to provide that opportunity for all film enthusiasts and professionals alike, from those who have never seen an enlarger to those who have been shooting film for decades.
