Ohhh, and functional as well?
but where do we get the film to use in that one?

 I can walk ten minutes and be at a photo shop selling and developing
35mm and medium format film. I expect Amazon will see it to you too, but
they won't develop. I mostly shoot subminiature with film and
development from Blue Moon Camera out of Portland, Oregon (not my state,
let alone walkable).
 

I assume I could get film somewhere in this city. There must be a place still selling it. There's an art academy and a few photographers here. But I also don't have any conscious memory of seeing any because I haven't actually used a camera with film for the last... 20 years already? And even then I was using an old camera I got as a kid.

 The appeal of a dancing bear isn't that the bear dances well, but the
bear dances at all.
 

true that
