Its my understanding that the company you think of as Eastman Kodak is still the one who is actually making the film.
Meanwhile, Kodak Alaris is handling the marketing and distribution side of things for still photo film (while the Rochester company does still handle this for motion picture film.)
Its an awkward split, and one I often see re-explained whenever one or the other makes a press announcement.

My understanding was that Kodak had gotten out of the consumer film business entirely, so I was surprised to find out about this Kodak Alaris, which is based in the UK. I suppose that if Kodak is still making film for motion pictures here then they could still be making small quantities of film for still photography as well, but as far as I know most of their main production facility is being rented out to other companies/startups.
