Film is not Kodak Alaris' primary business so its highly unlikely that they are interested in buying and running Building 38.
I'm retired from a major U.S. corporation, the name of which everyone at this forum, regardless of where in the world they reside, would recognize. The only time I possessed any of its stock was during the relatively brief period when that was the only way it would make matching contributions to the 401(k) savings plan. As soon as the situation changed, I moved all those funds out of my employer's stock into another vehicle....dedicated employees tend to buy company stock with their retirement funds...
...despite all "team" happy talk that gets propagated, there's an inherent adversarial relationship between employee and employer... OK, go ahead and throw those grenades now.
They're the ones that make film and paper for your cameras. Eastman Kodak, the company who's stock is actually on the market, sells commercial printing equipment and software (and now blockchain dreams).
You might be right. Honestly, I talk to reps from Eastman Kodak about once a week (just got off the phone with one now, actually). I work in the print industry. I've asked a bunch them about film and the relationship between Eastman and Alaris (if nothing else hoping that spending $25k on new software and servers would warrant them throwing in a couple of rolls of TMX for free). None of them know anything about their company other than what they specifically do in it. Or at least, they don't want to let me know that they do. I've also asked quite a few about the Kodakcoin, and everyone I've talked to about that claims they never even heard of it. So I've got no idea how that business is actually structured.I’m pretty certain Eastman Kodak actually makes the film, and Alaris is just a big distributor. If the main Kodak goes belly-up, nobody would be able to make the film for Alaris, unless they buy Kodak’s film production machinery. I’m willing to bet that if Kodak or Alaris started a Kickstarter to save Kodak film, it would be a big success, like Ferrania or that Reflex camera.

Sometimes. My impression of Eastman Kodak is that the company is full of geniuses and idiots. I've never met a person of average intelligence at Kodak. But they do seem to have a lot more smart people working for them than just about any other company I've done regular business with. I'm just not so sure that the people at the top calling all of the shots are among them. So at the end of the day, I don't know what to make of them. We buy their printing products because their hardware seems to be bullet proof, and their software, while unnecessarily complicated and confusing, does seem to be pretty stable. So I just consider the software that seems to be written by computer programmers for computer programmers, job security.That's got to fill you with warm fuzzies.
Unless one has insider information, in which case revealing it would undoubtedly violate a non-disclosure agreement, there's no way to say whether Alaris' agreement with Eastman Kodak ('the main Kodak,' as you put it) grants it the legal right to source photographic film from some other entity should Bldg. 38 be shut down. If Alaris has that right, any film supplier in the world could churn out product which would then be marketed by Alaris as "Kodak film."...If the main Kodak goes belly-up, nobody would be able to make the film for Alaris, unless they buy Kodak’s film production machinery...
