Without failure you can never achieve success. I have based my process and my 
career as an experimental film artist on this statement; and I welcome it as it 
pushes me forward as an artist to try something different, something new.

I know that many filmmakers are experimenting with alternate development 
processes, but one artist whose methods are worth looking at is the 
German-based filmmaker Dagie Brundert.  (Dagie, are you on this list?)  Dagie's 
developed films using all kinds of organic materials, and she keeps 
experimenting.  Check out her site:

Hi folks!
I'm doing a little research on alternative recipes for black and white film

chemicals). I know coffee (caffenol) is the most popular used method but I'm 
wondering what else has been done. I've heard rumors of beer and urine being 
used? Maybe wine? Thoughts?

Thanks everyone!

Are you sure you aren't thinking of technidol?
It wasn't being used as the developing agent, though, but as a stabilizer.
