Grain: Analog Renaissance | Alex Contell, Tommaso Sacconi | USA | 2021 | 81 minutes
Grain celebrates analog photography by showing its ups and downs in real-world scenarios and tells the story of artistic commitment, discovery and romance. Whether it's a fashion house seeking to bring a new edge to their creative work, an amateur perusing eBay for the perfect vintage Polaroid, or an influencer attempting to capture a comforting retro aesthetic on social media, analog photography has piqued the interest of people everywhere. Is this resurgence a backlash against digital photography? Is it just a trend perpetuated by our desire for authenticity in an increasingly superficial world? Or is it something else entirely?
