Why does film attract so much dust?




No expert but I'd guess "thin shiny material being rubbed against things -> STATIC AHOY -> clingy dust".

yeah static mostly. You can get a pizeoelectric antistatic gun to neutralize it. You can also get antistatic brushes that use alpha emissions from polonium 210 to do this.

every optical system attracts dust - dslrs / mirrorless cameras with removable lenses have extensive hardware and software systems to handle dust detection and removal from the sensor.

Why not use a blower fan?

Because dust sticks strong enough to withstand the blow
