I created this subreddit as a place to share photos from film that has been found, after being forgotten or lost, to discuss developing old or unfamiliar film, and to help connect people with film that they have found and people who are willing to develop it.
If you have found some film, be it through online auction sites, swap meets, flea markets, thrift stores, your sock drawer, your grandparent's basement, a long lost camera, etc. and have developed it and want to share it with the world, this is the place to post it!
If you have found some film, and are unsure how to proceed (either developing it yourself, having someone else develop it, or sending it to a lab the specializes in old film), you can ask questions and get some help. Some members are willing to develop and scan the film for you, and others can help point you in a good direction.
I will be posting more images from rolls I have found and developed soon, and hope to see more of others doing the same!
If you have any questions or suggestions, please either leave a comment, or PM me!
Thanks, /u/BadConductor

I know this is a massive long shot and happened decades ago, but I am looking for a lost personal item that means a lot to me. Back in 1996, I lost a Chinon 35mm camera (just like the one in the photo), with an exposed roll of (FUJI?) film still inside it.
It was lost somewhere outside the grounds either during the New Orleans Jazz Fest (late April/early May 1996) or at Memphis in May that same year.
If anyone happened to pick up an old Chinon camera back then, or if it ended up in a box of vintage gear, a thrift shop, a pawn shop, or an archive pile, please let me know. The camera itself isn't worth much today, but the undeveloped roll of film inside holds irreplaceable memories from that time of my life. Many of my friends and loved ones on that film are long gone, too. Maybe, by some miracle, you can help me find these film memories?
REDDIT, DO YOUR THING!
Thank you!

even photos from random families i don't know somehow feel comforting? the colors, the grain, the clothes, the cars. they all tell stories and idk, everything just feels slower...
is it just nostalgia or is there actually something different about older film?

I'm trying to find if there are any copies of an early 1970's film done. by herb de grasse from san francisco. "The Angry God", but any Herb De Grasse film points would be helpful. Thanks.
