Ferrania said they were not going to post any updates until they were ready to ship P30 again. One ray of hope for Ferrania enthusiasts is that Freestyle's website says that P30 will be back in stock beginning May 5, 2022. I have no idea whether Freestyle's statement is accurate.On April 7, 2021, Ferrania said "things are in motion again". Complete radio silence since, and P30 has been off the shelves for a long time. Anybody close to Viale Della Libertà? I understand the pandemic has been hard on everybody, but this long-term zero communication tactic seems troubling.

I've no interest in P30 and haven't followed Freestyle's stock stock status for it. However, I'd advise against relying on that "back in stock" date. I had been following Freestyle's claims for when it would once again have 4x5 Bergger Pancro 400 in stock. For roughly a year, it kept slipping the date by a month or two each time. Now it appears to have just given up and shows "December 31, 2022." Freestyle seems to be a victim of manufacturers' fantasies....Freestyle's website says that P30 will be back in stock beginning May 5, 2022. I have no idea whether Freestyle's statement is accurate...
Very well said. This place can be brutal to manufacturers and vendors.Given the abusive, entitled posts they received from people who believed that donating to a kickstarter was somehow the same as ordering a product.....I am not surprised that they've disappeared from forums like this one.
Film Ferrania have made it *very* clear that they will not have an update on their website or anywhere else until they have achieved in-house production of P30 including confectioning.
The best we can hope for is that they're beavering away, working on getting that realised. And that we hear about it when they do. In the meantime, the occasional batch of P30 makes it onto the market, film made at Film Ferrania and finished off with a partner.

Does Ferrania use other means of communications such as Facebook, YouTube etc? If it does then maybe that suggests that it is fed-up with its reception on Photrio. However if it is largely "incommunicado" and this applies to all parties then that possibly suggests that it has taken a decision, for better or worse, that it sees little point in communicating until it has something positive to report

So you don't shoot colour and you gave them money to get a colour film as award ?! For what ?Even though it was clearly stated in their Kickstarter mission, that the money raised would be used to rescue equipment, and people explained this over and over again, they still banged on, "they promised me film! Where's my film!" "They stole my money!" Because of their contribution, we now have P30. I hope they get a 120 version out (I'll try it!) and eventually colour (even though I don't shoot colour).
Thanks Agulliver. That largely answers my question. It would appear that Ferrania has decided against a kind of running response with all the social media platforms including Photrio as being at best not productive and at worst counter-productive and it may well be rightThere is a Film Ferrania facebook account, which mostly just reposts nice P30 shots people have posted to instagram.
It is full of nasty comments following each picture accusing Film Ferrania of being scammers, people angry at not getting the film they "ordered" and suchlike. Film Ferrania used to engage with the userbase more but now limits itself to the reposts Instagram pictures. I do not know if this is automated. Yesterday I called out one of those making nasty comments and received an insult for my efforts.

It wasn't hard at all for me. I found what you said to be quite clear, AndyI never said I gave them money. But there are people who gave money just to help them save the machines. THAT was what the Kickstarter was for. NOT to make film. Why is that so hard for people to understand??

A few days ago Macodirect (Germany) sent me a notification that P30 is back in stock! So I ordered 3 rolls.. As of now I haven't seen it back in stock anywhere else, and macodirect is already sold out.
