If Kodak were still making film today, hipsters would be all over it just like vinyl records.

The remains of Kodak does make film today, albeit in fewer varieties than they once did, and with far less production capacity.

Any yes, people are all over it to the point that the most popular varieties can be difficult to find in stock, and prices have climbed significantly from a few years ago.

There's people now trying to recreate the Polaroid instant film technology and keep it alive. Even when those cameras were current, the pictures they made looked like crap.
Go to any fashionable flea market and you will see old film cameras for sale, usually by a dedicated seller who can also sell you film.
