LOMOgraphy has announced the launch of a new black-and-white film – Potsdam Kino.
The film is a 100-speed film and is thought to be manufactured by German film manufacturer ORWO.
Potsdam film is available for pre-order now, in packs of five.
LOMOgraphy says: “Inspired by the New German Cinema sweeping through Europe in the 1960s, LOMOgraphy’s Kino Films are extracted from rolls of cine film produced by a legendary German company that has been changing the face of cinema since the early 1900s.
“Originally used to make moody monochrome movies, their gorgeous black and white tones lend a timeless effect to cinematic scenes.”
The launch of Potsdam – named after a German city that lies close to the capital Berlin – comes hot on the heels on the launch of the Berlin film last year, a 400-ISO black-and-white film also thought to be a reworked version of an ORWO emulsion.

I'm a New Zealander who has been living in London since the mid-1990s, shooting film seriously since the year 2000. Kosmo Foto was launched in 2012 and has since become a film brand, with the release of my first films Kosmo Foto Mono 35mm (2017) and Kosmo Foto Mono 120 (2019).
I’m doing everything I can to promote film photography in the 21st Century, and help it survive and thrive. If you want to write something for Kosmo Foto, please drop me a line at foto.dowling@gmail.com.
Usually I dislike these rebranded films, but the Orwo films are actually really good and can’t be bought in anything else than bulk rolls so this is good for the film photography community!
