Pharmacopœia

Pharmacopœia is a short film on an obsolete 8 mm colour filmstock, Kodachrome. Kodak discontinued the production of Kodachrome in 2009 and support for processing it ceased in 2010 as Kodak withdrew the complex chemistry and its tightly controlled licenses for laboratories to process it. Here I repurpose it, using homegrown plant developer to process the footage of some of the medicinal plants growing in the allotment I tend.
