The Flat Film Archive was borne out of the Hillvale Cubes. Sifting through each roll of film in preparation for the cubes’ construction, it was discovered that every canister was unique in its own right.
Although 35mm film is produced in a uniform fashion (from small-run hand rolled film to mass manufacturing), each roll has individual markings — from hand written notes, varying imperfections and expiration dates.
This evolving archive serves as an appreciation of 35mm canister design. Visit our catalogue online at flatfilmarchive.com. You can also follow along on Instagram, @flatfilmarchive.
