Analog Cookbook is a biannual zine dedicated to making non-digital filmmaking more accessible. Emerging from DIY roots, Analog Cookbook is committed to sharing darkroom recipes, featuring artists working with analog film, photography, and video, and building a platform for celluloid enthusiasts all over the world.
Inspired by Helen Hill's Recipes for Disaster, Analog Cookbook seeks to continue the conversation around analog filmmaking in the digital age. Updated analog resources are needed. Even as film stocks come and go, technology fades, and cameras become obsolete, film never really dies. Analog Cookbook provides resources on modifying your old cameras sitting on bookshelves (for example, the Instamatic), recipes on non-toxic developers, and tips and tricks for film artists from all over.
