Hello dear film photographers,

there are exciting news from Germany: The successful German film photography print magazine "PhotoKlassik" is now launching an additional international English edition for the global film photographer community!
The Kickstarter project has just started:

Dead Link Removed

You also may have a look at the press release:
"PhotoKlassik, the only magazine in print that focuses exclusively on film photography, has been successful on the German-speaking market for 5 years.

As a result of this success in its home market and the worldwide resurgence of film photography, the German publisher Infomax21 has decided to launch PhotoKlassik International in English, via the crowd funding platform Kickstarter.

Infomax21's core business is the development and publication of photographic magazines, including "PhotoPresse," the German publication with a very long tradition, in print since 1945. In addition, Infomax21 publishes "PhotoKina Daily," the official newspaper about the world's largest trade fair for the photographic and imaging industries.

The new Magazine won't be a translation of the German issue, but instead an independent and truly global publication with contributors from all around the world!
Written by photographers for photographers, there wiIl be easy-to-use tips for beginners, and also in-depth insights for professionals looking to get back to film. Focusing on artistry, there will also be sections on photographic and processing techniques, and of course gear, from the best vintage buys to the newest releases.

The initial offer through Kickstarter will start on June 7, 2017. Backers will get the chance to pre-order a yearly subscription of quarterly issues for 49$. That's a real savings over both the news-stand price and the price that will be offered later on the PhotoKlassik website. And it will be delivered to their home address, anywhere in the world."

As not only being a film enthusiast, but also someone who is one of the regular authors of the PhotoKlassik for years, I hope you will support our hard work and strong efforts to further strengthen the film-revival.

Thank you very much and best regards from Germany,
Henning
 
I just made a substantial contribution. Hope others will do likewise.
I was amazed how little had been raised so far.

Cannot wait to get my first copy. You might try posting it to r/Analog and r/photography on reddit.com. Good luck.
 
OK.
I am just a slow learning beginner, but i will give this a shot.
I certainly get a good feeling from the two proponents that were interviewed.
I sill cannot get over this whole "Film Thing". I NEVER would have thought there would be cameras that did not require film.
I can remember the Kodak Signs (1960's-1970's) at Disneyland. Places where you would stop to take a picture of your Kids/Family, that gave you a "classic" image of Disneyland in the background.
Anyway.....i will send them my 50 bux and see what happens.
Thanks for the posting.......
