Even in the age of the MP3, the allure of vinyl remains unabated. The promise of high-fidelity audio, beautiful covers and the ability to look cool while DJing is still a great draw to a lot of people.
That's the idea behind Paolo Campana's film Vinylmania, a documentary that takes a long look at people who maintain a deep love of spiral grooves and why they still hold the format dear.
It looks like exactly the kind of thing vinyl purists would love as much as an out-of-print, 180-gram Bobby Womack LP. The only problem is that the film is currently narrated in Italian (by Campana) and doesn't have the song licensing necessary for international distribution.
To spread Vinylmania worldwide, Campana has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the necessary funds. The "33 in 45" campaign (get it?) aims to raise $33,000 in 45 days to cover the costs.
