Film production and development. Yesterday I dropped off a couple rolls of 120 film shot on a 60 year old camera at a lab to develop and print it for me.
Hell I just got my daughter a disposable camera for her school camping trip. No electronics allowed but they encouraged them to bring those. I was surprised to find one. I told her (11yrs) it was a one time use camera. The look on her face was priceless. She looked at me as if I were dumb and said, “so it takes one freaking picture?? That’s stupid, my phone takes all the photos I want!” She got further confused when I explained why there was no screen and how she had to get those photos lol.
Should’ve showed her the clip from The Office where Erin(?) takes a picture with a disposable camera and then throws the it in the trash and wonders why people use them, seems such a waste to throw it away and never see the pictures.
Film is infinitely upscalable. No video format has ever been able to touch it. You can take films shot 100 years ago and upscale them to 4K/8K/etc. You can’t do that with any video format.

We’re in a bit of a renaissance!
Kodak just put out brand new Kodacolor 200 and Ektachrome 100 film
I’ve not even got one developed yet!

Not infinitely. I had a film scanned at 14k and it’s starting to look a bit grainy.
