Film Stocks: A Guide to Analog Film Brands
79 film stocks across 14 brands: Granit maps analog films and the photographers who work with physical matter.
These obsessions, ever since we started Granit with Selina...
Analog is a very important one.
- How do we not neglect photographers who shoot on film?
- How do we pay maximum attention to artists who work with non-digital materials?
On the film side, #Granit will build partnerships with studios and labs, and showcase, as it deserves, Art and Texture.
On the photography “challenge,” before launching in 2026 we’re trying to catalog brands and their film stocks — without going all the way back to the invention of photography, but why not?
Granit is built for this: catalogue by stock, keep grain and formats intact. The full picture is on the film photographer page. Once the scans come back from the lab, the next piece in this series: organizing and finding your film scans.
