RIT Experts Discuss Kodak’s Bankruptcy Filing

Malcolm Spaull, chair of RIT’s School of Film and Animation in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences:

• I’m somewhat surprised that it has come to this because the sale of motion picture film stock and processing chemicals, while declining slowly, is still very profitable.

• Kodak has continued research and development in this motion picture film and there is sustained demand. It will eventually suffer the same fate as still camera film but not for another decade.
