As the film manufacturing situation becomes more 'complicated' (for want of a better turn of phrase), I thought I'd start a thread to discuss what is available and what film is made by which manufacturer.
I thought I'd start the ball rolling... most of this is internet conjecture (although I think Cinestill are or were pretty up-front about their repackaging) in addition to people doing some comparison testing + looking at spec sheet graphs (mainly for the Fuji/Kodak stuff).
While it doesn't make a massive difference who makes the film if its what you have available and enjoy shooting, in some cases there can be price differences - in this case, if its ultimately for the same stuff, most people would opt for whichever was cheaper.
Feel free to post corrections or film-sources/info in the thread.

- Fuji C200 & 400
- Cinestill - repackaged Kodak cinema film with the remjet layer removed
- Lomography -
- Repackaged Kodak ?
- Potentially there is variation depending in the type of film + I don't know if there is value-add in some of the more oddball options for the lo-fi 'Lomo' look or 'special-effects' ('Redscale') but maybe thats more on the camera side
- Rollei -
- Made by Agfa and/or repackaged Aviphot (poking around, it appears Agfa still make Aviphot as a special order (eg not a consumer thing))
- JCH -
- (see Rollei above?)
