Pictures from times gone by, left on the film, then brought to light years (sometimes decades) later.

I started this as I was unable to find a subreddit specifically for this.

If you have developed a roll of film that has sat in a shoebox, in the basement, a sock drawer, etc. and wish to share it with the world, here is the place.

Show off your images, talk about techniques, ask for advice. If it is related to old film, here's the place.

Found some film but don't know what to do with it? Ask around and see if there is someone willing to develop it for you!

The film could be from last year, or the 1900's. Doesn't matter, as long as it had been forgotten, then found.

Help finding old childhood film about a doll

Hey, so I've not posted here but I have memories of this film and i need help finding it.

I remeber it starts live action with this brither and sister going to bed (they have bunk beds) before it zooms in on the girls doll house and switches to animated where the doll wakes up in a woods and meets a unicorn. I can't remember the plot but it was an average adventure-esque film and one other key thing I remeber was mid-way through the film it switches back to love action for a little bit where the girl wakes up and plays with the doll in the dollhouse.

I know the doll had blonde hair. It kinda felt like a rip-off barbie film cuz I'm like 99% sure it wasn't a barbie one.

But yeah, any help finding this would be much much appreciated.

Old roll of Kodachrome II KR 135-20 to develop

Hi All,

My wifes late grandfather had an old vintage SLR and to my surprise there was still film in the camera. I advance the film and rewound it but would like to find someone to give it a shot at developing it for me. I know that the Kodachrome color process is a no go but have heard that it could be developed in B&W. Anyone willing to give it a shot?

Help me find a movie

Hello, I've been trying to find the name of the film for a long time, I don't remember the plot at all, only some moments. I only remember the beginning, a girl (I think she was young) was running through a dark forest from some man, after which she either fell or hid in a hole herself, after which her phone rang and she was caught. Then there were moments with some college or university, there were occult rituals (I'm not sure), as I remember there was some kind of club on this topic. That's all I remember. I had the film on DVD, and it looked very old, maybe it was filmed in the 2000s, but I'm not sure 🥲 I would be very grateful if you could help me with anything 😄

Can I get 1960s Kodak Tri-x pan film developed anywhere?

Hey just wondering if I can get Tri-x pan from 1962 developed anywhere or can I use regular b&w chemistry to develop it? It does say tx 135-36 on the side of the box if that helps (I have no idea what it means) Thanks for any help!

Where can I send some pretty old film?

https://preview.redd.it/fy07aknhpzgd1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c434025ce9b1829c42ddadaa03e61fa61c64958

I bought this old bellows camera on Facebook Marketplace to use as a cosplay prop and it had an exposed roll of 116 film in it. Is there somewhere I could send it or donate it? I'm interested in what's on it but also a little too broke right now pay a lot to develop pictures of someone else's dead relatives, so I'm wondering if there's any found film projects that are currently accepting donations, or if anyone here is interested in trying to develop it?. The camera is a No. 1A Pocket Kodak Series II (ignore the kids toy digital camera in the photo lmao). I'm in Chicago and could send it anywhere in the US for free, or possibly internationally if the shipping price isn't too bad or if the receiver is willing to pay for a label. Let me know if anyone wants some pre-1984 film from a pre-1931 camera!

Movie like Jumanji

  • There is a boy and a girl
  • They time travel to the future
  • they come back and they have christmas and they already know whats gonna happen
  • they go to a bridge and the girl kisses him on the lips
  • it is live action and it looks like from 90s or 2000s and the boy and girl are maybe 12 years old

90s-00s Low Budget Sci-fi Horror

I'm looking for a film for one of my friends. Here are the details they gave me about what they can remember:

  • Couple driving through an old, creepy abandoned town
  • Coffin in the middle of the street
  • Possible line where the lady says, “should we check it out?”
  • Jail cell scene where the sheriff puts his daughter in to protect her, but she still gets hurt
  • The setting is a western, desert-y townIt seems like a low-budget, possibly a Sci-Fi Channel movie from the late 90s or early 2000s

An old Film with the Keyword "Snake Eyes"

Between 1999 and 2005 in Vietnam, I came across a film on Vietnamese television that I've been unable to identify. Here are the details I recall:

Genre: Possibly psychological drama or historical (not action or horror). Produced in Europe, the United States, Latin America, or the Middle East.

Protagonist: A 7-10 year old boy, European, American, or Middle Eastern (certainly not Asian or African).

"Snake Eyes": The boy's description of his mother's eyes (I'm unsure of the original language equivalent). This detail left a profound impression on me and could be the film's theme.

Strict Mother: I remember a scene where she brutally whips a man, possibly her husband. (Alternatively, this woman may not be the boy's mother.)

Ending Scene: The mother stares directly into the camera. The phrase "snake eyes" might be repeated.

Boy-Maid Kiss: The boy kisses a maid, who is much older, perhaps 15-20 years old. She is crying when he approaches, and she turns and kisses him in the lip (an young woman kissing an 8-year-old boy).

This film is not well-known on IMDb, and it is likely only known in its country of origin.

I've always been curious about this film and would love to learn more about it. I hope you can assist me. Thank you.
