I'm afraid I disagree. It's not a different art form, it is just an evolution of it. There is literally nothing that film cameras can do that digital camera's can't do, and in most cases do better. Comparing the transition to painting versus photography is just ridiculous - you might as well compare painting to sculpture, because they are genuinely different art forms. 3D printing and sculpting are completely different processes to produce a 3D shape - film and digital photography are two almost identical processes to produce the same end result. I don't see a single argument in favour of film besides nostalgia. A much more accurate comparison would be someone who insists on heating pots over a wood fire every night, rather than using a gas flame.
