And isn't there a contradiction in wanting to start a photographic movement when we're all trying to avoid camera shake?
Or an immensely strong and dominant artistic personality—a Pablo Picasso, an André Breton, an Andy Warhol.
I am too busy taking photographs to be concerned about an photographic movement.
For a movement to happen, I think you need something that people coalesce around. Either a central principle or a developing trend.

We cannot even coalesce on the subject about whether photography is art or not and about what is art.

I think you have it backwards, the movements that start with an intention, a manifesto or something like that follow a purpose. Your feel we need a movement but are looking for a purpose? Why the need for a movement then?
a new movement is necessary to propel film photography into a strong future existance in an increasingly difficult and uncertain world.
There is such a movement. It's called "scanning and posting the images digitally". There would be no future for film if there had been no scanning and sharing.
I see this as the death of traditional photography as the art of analog printing is lost.
Good oneAlternative Photography is the Real Photography. Traditional Photography (silver gelatin, you-push-the-button stuff) was just the gateway drug for the mainlining of Digital.

Don't ignore hybrid printing just because we are not allowed to talk about on this side of the fence.
The ultimate end product, a platinum/palladium print, or a Pt/Pd or gold toned Kallitype ( salt print, etc) should be about the longest lived of all photographic processes.Then there is the issue of archiveability, or the lack thereof.

It is vital to use it as a way to help to preserve this unfolding history, and to give us a unified goal to help us thru it.
Furthermore, none of these scans are likely to survive the coming turmoil.
And if so, does this mean we've replaced the old "film is dead" threads with new "film will die if we don't do something about it" threads?
OK, so you're not talking about an artistic movement—not talking about the images being made but how the images are being made. Is that it? And if so, does this mean we've replaced the old "film is dead" threads with new "film will die if we don't do something about it" threads?

Scanning is the digital saviour of film. It's naive to think anything different.
A very correct conclusion. Sad… and boring.
