Founded in 1896, Pathé is one of the oldest film companies in the world and the only French studio still fully involved in production, sales, distribution, and exhibition.
For more than a century, Pathé has remained dedicated to distributing and producing outstanding films — from Academy Award® winners such as Slumdog Millionaire by Danny Boyle, CODA by Siân Heder, and Emilia Pérez by Jacques Audiard (featuring Zoë Saldaña, Academy Award® winner of the Supporting Best Actress in a Supporting Role), to acclaimed period dramas like The Iron Lady by Phyllida Lloyd (which earned Meryl Streep the Academy Award® for Best Actress), The Queen by Stephen Frears (featuring Helen Mirren, also an Academy Award® winner), Selma by Ava DuVernay, or beloved animated classics like Chicken Run.
With a talent-driven creative approach, Pathé maintains long-standing and trusted relationships with leading filmmakers such as Pedro Almodóvar, Jane Campion, Paolo Sorrentino, Jean-Jacques Annaud, Paul Verhoeven, and Matteo Garrone and as well as emerging talents including Antonin Baudry (The Wolf’s Call), Siân Heder (CODA), Alice Winocour, Audrey Diwan, and Amélie Bonnin (Leave One Day – Opening Film, Cannes Film Festival).
