It's a pretty one for sure. I got one just like it, only older.
Well, looks like @pentaxuser made it to being an influencer, albeit directly. 15 seconds of YouTube fame, yay!
The cat was the only interesting thing in the video.
I'm fairly certain that this is some Inovis/Orwo junk, probably Wolfen NC400.

Fairly certain because they've explicitly said it is not?
Inoviscoat coated a very decent film for Adox some years ago. I'd hope Harman can do at least as well as that. I can't see them selling stuff as horrible as NC500.
I think @analogwisdom was referring to the "Ilfocolor" film which keeps getting thrown into this thread. Someone posted an image of the box saying they didn't know who made it.
Ah, of course, now I see that. Sorry @analogwisdom!

I hope we are all aware that the Ilford branded cameras have been available for some time and are nothing to do with Harman.
And that the "Ilfocolor" film that has seen some limited availability in recent times has nothing to do with Harman at all.
Well, maybe I'd put in place a substantial discount for people in thenorth of Englandcolonies or former colonies of The Great British Empire, but nothing else.

I believe that CR Kennedy, an Australian photographic importer, played a financial part in the saving of Ilford.
Adox Color Mission film was designed/coated by people who have since left InovisCoat and as our own Henning Serger put it, there has been a "brain drain" at InovisCoat.
If the right people happened to step off the flight from Düsseldorf to Manchester...
@Rolleiflexible Harman have now made it clear, as have some of the content creators/influencers, that this is going to be the debut of a new product. The influencers have been sent something, a product, to test and to make content with. There is an embargo on exactly what this product is, but we'll find out on December 1. Some of us did wonder if it was a rebrand from Ilford to Harman but that would only ever be something they'd do if the absolutely had to from a legal standpoint (if their license to use the Ilford name couldn't be continued). The video that has been linked is fairly good at summarising the available facts, and a couple of weeks ago they seemed to point to two possibilities.....a rebrand from Ilford to Harman or a colour film. Because many people who have actually visited Harman's facilities felt that Harman being able to produce colour film was nigh on impossible, thoughts turned to a rebrand. But now it has been made explicitly clear this is a new product that they cannot sell under the Ilford banner.
Whoa, I don't know why I didn't consider that. This would make a lot of sense!
Perhaps the plot thickens.....because we know that in 2021 Harman were advertising for photo-chemists who would work for them producing photographic products in Britain and Germany.
Eastman Kodak are looking for similar people - not least because they want and need both more staff and younger staff - many of the highly trained specialists are either retired or nearing retirement.
Staff renewal is of course a good thing - it implies stability and growth.
Anyway, I'm still quite puzzled by the obvious lack of @ilfordphoto activity on this. They don't follow @harmanphoto.

Maybe they obtained some of the brains drained from Inoviscoat. that would have helped them with teh knowledge side of things, as they were getting closer to making a saleable C41 film.
@ilfordphoto and @harmanphoto are probable the same person.
*If* Harman have also been able to upgrade their coating system to make sufficient coating layers for C41 film
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to launch a color film in a northern country in December. California will have much more color for photowalks and stuff at that time. Then again, I wouldn't want to launch a color film in the winter anywhere. I'd do it in the spring, or right before fall.I wonder why the launch is in California rather than in the UK - merely wondering, not thinking it shouldn't be.
Assuming that it is a colour film, you're right. But what if they're launching a solar powered light meter with a special night photography attachment? And I'm with you about the odd seasonal timing.I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to launch a color film in a northern country in December.
