About JC Film

Continuing a legacy of excellence in analog photography since 1958.

A Legacy of Analog Excellence

Established in 1958, Shanghai Shenbei was a pioneering state-owned film manufacturer that developed the iconic Shanghai GP3 black and white film. Designed as an affordable, high-quality option for the domestic Chinese market, GP3 quickly captured 40% to 50% of the film market, becoming one of the most classic and trusted film stocks of its era.

Though digitalization brought an end to the original factory’s operations in the early 2000s, the spirit of GP3 lives on. Shanghai Jiancheng Technology Pty Ltd continues the legacy, not only preserving the heritage of GP3 film but also advancing the analog experience through cutting-edge darkroom equipment and partnerships with leading black & white film manufacturers.
