After emailing Polaroid's customer contact info as previously
reported, I got the following reply from Mary-Anne at Polaroid
(LAPIERM@xxxxxxxxxxxx):
Thank you for your email.
Yes the Polaroid-branded instant film is made by Polaroid in
Polaroid manufacturing plants.
Hope that answers your question. --Dana

Dana,
I had thought that the bankruptcy sold off the film mfg plant to some other
outfit.
It's good to know that the original company and knowhow is still in the US.
My problem with Polaroid is the high cost of their films. On average, it's
more than $2 per shot.
Also, I wonder whether Polaroid still has an R&D operation going. Why aren't
they offering improvements to their quality Pack cameras which would make
processing Polaroid films easier and cleaner.
Sure, digital has all but wiped out the Instant advantage of Polaroid, but
not its immediate high quality paper print nor its inherently superior
format. I'd still be using my Polaroid 450 Pack camera if film were
available for it for 50 cents per exposure. I particularly liked their B&W
stocks.
Best,
Bob
