Our story

We started our community on Instagram back in 2017 with a simple wish: to preserve the legacy of film photography, and to celebrate the unique narratives that unfold on the streets of Saigon.

In a world increasingly dominated by digital imagery, we believe in the enduring magic of analog film, with its rich textures, subtle hues, and inherent unpredictability. Above all, we believe in Saigon, and its humans.

Film is the answer

If you are here, you probably would agree that the photography experience is more authentic on film. On each frame, we allow ourselves to slow down, absorb what we see, and appreciate the beauty with patience and delicacy.
