Eastman Kodak is taking back control and releasing more film stocks. Is film photography about to go mainstream again?

A selection of films in a fridge.

Over the last few months things have been changing when it comes to Kodak film. After the bankruptcy proceedings of 2012, Kodak was split, with Eastman Kodak developing and manufacturing films, while Kodak Alaris marketed and distributed it. Now however Eastman Kodak has started to distribute certain film stocks again, which could be exciting for photographers, with possible price drops and more stability in the market.

It’s a slightly confusing situation though, as Eastman Kodak hasn’t taken back all film stock. As it stands it is now handling development of all stocks, in addition to marketing and distribution of Kodacolor 100 and Kodacolor 200, which were both released last year, with the packaging and branding of Kodacolor, rather than the Kodak Professional that Alaris was using.
