GRAIN: Analog Renaissance - Trailer 2022

GRAIN is a documentary by Tommaso Sacconi and Alex Contell that explores the stories of those committed to using film in modern day photography.

Today, the art world and beyond is obsessed with shooting analog. 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?

GRAIN premiered in November 2021 at the DOC NYC Festival– New York (US).

Since then it has been screened at the International Center of photography ICP; CIFF 46 International Film Festival – Cleveland (US); Milwaukee Film Festival – Milwaukee (US); FREEP Film Festival – Detroit (US); Brooklyn Film Festival – Brooklyn (US); DART Film Festival – Santiago (CL); SDFF Film Festival – Sebastopol (US).
