Cinema Shorts is hand-rolled Kodak Vision 3 film with remjet; it comes with a development manual in plastic-free and 100% recycled packaging.
This film features outstanding colour, resolution, and dynamic range. Developed for multimillion-dollar motion picture productions, Kodak Vision 3 is the gold standard for screen and still photography quality.
I have a limited hand-rolled batch of this film, branded with the new signature dark Cinema Shorts design, packed in threes with a signed, updated development guide & international lab list. It is a mix of the 50D and 500T speeds.
If you are a new or existing Analog.Cafe GOLD member, you’ll have a chance to win one of these boxes every month until September 2025. GOLD membership comes with many resources for film photographers of all skills, including exclusive courses, unique experiments, and web apps that can track and invert your film negatives right here on the website.

This film is not for sale, so the only way to get it is to sign up!
New memberships are free for 14 days. Your account will be included in the draw regardless of whether you’re a new or existing subscriber. The draw will be random; repeat winners will be allowed. I will pay for shipping, but it will be the winner’s responsibility to pay import fees.
All Cinema Shorts 35mm film rolls are hand-rolled to give you full 36 exposures (often more). They are packed in metal canisters for convenient home development and reuse if you bulk roll.
The metal film canisters and plastic containers that Cinema Shorts film comes in are selected and upcycled from my personal collection of previously developed films.
The rest of the packaging is plastic-free: the box, the padding, and even the packing tape are all paper-based products you can compost or recycle.
I’ve tested this batch several times over the course of five months. You can find more samples and a detailed description of this film in my recent article, “Kodak Vision 3 500T 5219/7219 Film Review.”
Please note that Cinema Shorts 500T is a special film designed for best results under warm indoor light. Learn more about tungsten colour balance.
Your pack will also include the 50D, a fine-grained daylight version excellent for the sunny days ahead. Read my review of this film (with samples) here.
