Great to see the @nytimes spotlight Kodak's film manufacturing and the talented people behind it. We're grateful to the filmmakers who continue to choose film. As demand for motion picture and still film grows, we're investing in innovation and capacity while leveraging the same coating and chemistry expertise used to make film to drive growth in batteries, pharmaceuticals, printed electronics, and advanced materials. nytimes.com/2026/09/12/arts/…

Sony is reviving the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Studio boss Tom Rothman says: "We are fully committed to theatrical, and this is the Eiffel Tower of that business. It’s sitting there in a derelict state. It was not a good message in the world and a loss of opportunity... Plans are immaculate. The idea is to restore it to its full former glory, although with every state-of-the-art update possible … projection, sound. There will be no food service. It’s going to be gorgeous." variety.com/2026/film/news/s…

Director Christopher Nolan brought 60 Minutes to Fotokem in Burbank, California, to watch their artists assemble and color correct final release prints of “The Odyssey.” It's the only motion picture film lab in the world that still produces 70 millimeter prints. cbsn.ws/4fmX11q
