Why does film attract so much dust?

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

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.
