What would you do with a boatload of expired film?

[thedancefloor]

I bought a box of expired film recently. In it were approx. 200 rolls of 35mm film that included 40 rolls of Tri-x from 1984ish (lots of fog), 40 rolls of Ektachrome from 1984ish and 40 rolls of HP5 from the 90s. And a whole bunch of consumer kodak and fuji films. But there were some really awesome films too that I will keep and use. Those were original Ektar, all sorts of Ektapress, some high speed konica stuff and some panatomic-x.

I would use it all, but I don't like surprises. I've been giving it away to other photogs, and they've been pretty happy about it. What would you do with a huge box wildcards?

About 7 or 8 years ago I threw away a bunch of expired film wich I had kept in the freezer, and still I regret it. Don't know why I did it. A couple of months ago I got a large box of several types of expired paper, and that I will keep.

So far I've used the paper for creative/alternative work, and I find it really funny.

With a huge box of wildcards I would use it for some creative work.

Make a big pinata and have a party?!?

ETA: I'd love some of the 1984 tri-x. Postage?

i only shoot expired film.
process it ( even color ) in caffenol
with a tiny bit of print developer ( i use ansco 130 )
who cares if it is a little foggy ... the prints will probably
have more character than brand new film ...

have fun !

I'd shoot it, then try my hand at developing it. Just bought my first MF Camera, so I'm excited on learning to develop the film myself.
