FILM IS NOT DEAD:
Film isn't dead. Film is changing, but it's not dead. People still use film. There's just not enough people to use film. If they can still afford to make them, there is a market for film. Film has amazing richness and depth that digital just doesn't have. Not to mention, film cameras can still take way more better than a modern digital camera could too. People still use film because of how long it lasts too. With digital cameras, they use a different type of ink etc. That probably won't last forever. Film cameras seem all around way better than digital. There's many positives, such as it being cheaper and the quality of the photos. Film isn't dead, film is still more alive than ever. ;)

How to get to Bokeh:
Bokeh is blurred shapes or images within the image. You’ll need a large aperture and a short focal distance. You should set your camera to Aperture Priority mode, this will let you to dictate the exposure of the image based upon the aperture, which would to need to be large in order to let of light in. The next step is to judge the depth-of-field in order to get the "blurred effect". Be sure to leave plenty of distance between yourself and the light source and make sure that you have manual focus selected on your camera. You have to get as close to what you're trying to take a picture of as possible. You could try using bokeh in the background of an image that has an alternative focal point in the foreground too.
