It's been a while since Kodak launched a new film, and even longer since it actually distributed its own. But the company caught people by surprise yesterday when it announced two new film products - Kodacolor 100 and Kodacolor 200. Just as important, it announced that it would be distributing them itself, rather than going through Kodak Alaris, which has handled distribution since the company split following bankruptcy proceedings in 2012.

Charmera is a mini digital camera that resembles the Kodak Fling single‑use camera from the 80s and 90s. It's the same size and follows a similar retro look, but instead of disposing of it after use, you can keep it and recharge it when the battery runs out. It also has a blind‑box element: you don't know which camera design you'll get when you buy one.

Kodak will use $300 million in cash from its pension plan termination in December 2025 to address much of its $477 million in term debt.

The 2025 Flow Photo Contest, sponsored by Kodak, received over 16,000 entries from photographers across 109 countries, showcasing 15 winning images.
