The Golden Age of Polaroid Advertising is screening at the Museum of Television & Radio in both LA and NY (Apr 7-Jul 9, 2006). I have no idea if it's any good or not, but it looks interesting.

For now, I'll have to console myself by watching Charles and Ray Eames' SX-70 Film (download the film in avi format for better viewing resolution), and reading Paul Giambarba's The Branding of POLAROID, 1957-1977 ("How we beat Eastman Kodak and its little yellow boxes at point of purchase despite a clunky product and an irrelevant corporate name"). Old news, I know, but Eames films are always a treat, and Paul Giambarba's story is amazing.
