Swimming against the digital tide. A heart-warming and inspiring trip into the new power of analogue

In 2008, as we were all salivating over our first iPhone, an eccentric former biologist, Dr. Florian Kaps - better known as ‘Doc’ - had a strange calling. He decided to save the last Polaroid factory in the world, in Enschede in the Netherlands. At first the venture failed miserably. But the Doc never gives up and what follows is a heart-warming and inspiring trip into the new power of analogue - taking him to maybe one of the unlikeliest places of all: Silicon Valley. A colourful, stylish study of a unique and inspiring individual, as well as a thought-provoking exploration of the priorities of a society evolving faster than it can even comprehend, An Impossible Project continues filmmaker Jens Meurer’s illuminating back catalogue of documentary features.
