They are buyingthe film direct from Kodak. 24 exposure DX coded 35mm canister <http://filmphotographyproject.com/store/35mm-bw-eastman-double-x-5222-1-roll> 100 foot roll <http://filmphotographyproject.com/store/fpp-eastman-double-x-5222-35mm-x-305m-100-ft>
Note that there were several films with similar names. Super-XX was a motion picture stock while Double-X was a still film. By memory there was also a Super-XX reversal stock for motion pictures. Same with Plus-X, there was both a negative and reversal stock for motion picture use. Double-XX still film has not been made for decades.
