Although "The B-Side" is mildly mournful as Dorfman confronts her impending retirement, forced onto her by the death of the Polaroid film she uses, it is a celebration of the ability to freeze time and the pleasure of looking back.

Elsa Dorfman's work is ephemeral yet grand: using a giant 20" x 24" camera, that is now discontinued, Dorfman has produced some of the world's largest Polaroid images, showing that unwieldy technology does not need to be limiting when used imaginatively.

Dorfman talks like a philosopher at times, but never seems to take herself, or anything else, very seriously, except for the death of film. She talks about the loss of film and all the wonderful machinery thrown away when Polaroid went bankrupt.
