Film degrades pretty quickly though, and with ravaging dust storms jamming up equipment, and costly and non-obvious chemical solutions needed to create and develop film, it's easy to imagine it becoming a lost art.

I have accuse muse of black magic once and I will do it again.

The crew doesn't actually have a life of their own. They are ancient spirits, soul bound to the ship through dark techno-sorcery long since lost to man. Their corporal bodies have long since turned to dust. The humanoid figures you see scampering around the deck of a ship are but ghosts of those brave yet foolish individuals who volunteered to spiritually merge with these flying death machines. Ghosts have nothing to fear from bullets, flame, or shrapnel. Yet like any apparition they can not stray far from the corporal object they haunt. Attempts to win their freedom by leaping off their ghost ship are always met with humiliating failure as the dark magic rips the self projection back onto the cold hard deck it was so eager to leave. Only through the fiery destruction of the Airship itself can these lost souls hope to find the truce peace of the grave.

Once you allow for magic, much of the how does it work questions get answered.

This is going into my headcannon. The game has instantly become a lot more interesting now that I am a ghost

it explains why you respawn when you jump off the ship.

Mayhaps some smart Anglean learned to copy and preserve the film.

You mean "Smart Anglean prisoner/slave" right? The smart Angleans are too busy finding new and better ways to murder people to bother with film preservation.

Bah, Angleans know how to reverse engineer old tech. That's there thing, along with being bloodthirsty merciless bastards. Tiss why I like them!
