well, the art market may keep film alive, but there will be precious few 
making it or making money at it. in the quarterly report that caused Kodak's 
shares to sink like a stone, Kodak says that it will see a 30% decline in 
film and film-related revenue in the US this year compared to last and 20% 
worldwide.

We teach several courses at my college based on traditional film
photography.  They are inevitably overfilled with long wait-lists.  The
funny part is that the camera of choice is (still) the K-1000.  (I have
let student borrow lenses and even gave my old Tak 135 2.5 to I student
I knew.)  I think we are seeing digital becoming the main stream method
of choice and film becoming an artistic alternative.  Since many
amateurs treat photography as an art from, film should continue to do
well.
