Documentaries & Docuseries

Documentary work in France draws on a top research base. It spans the INA archive in Bry-sur-Marne for broadcast history, the Bibliothèque nationale on the Quai François Mauriac in Paris, the Cinémathèque française at Bercy, and regional collections from the Lyon city archives to the Mémorial de Caen in Normandy. Our researchers and fixers open doors at academic institutions, religious orders, industrial sites, and rural communities that observational filmmaking leans on. Our access producers handle the long lead times that sensitive contributor relationships need. Run-and-gun two-person teams or full interview crews come together within the same week, which matches the budget reality of factual production.

Your project might be a feature-length theatrical documentary bound for the CNC distribution pipeline. It might be a multi-episode streaming docuseries, an investigative piece for Arte or France 5, or a wildlife film roaming from the Pyrenees to the Gulf of Morbihan. In each case, we manage permits, contributor releases, interpreter coverage, and archive rights clearances under one producer. We back documentary work that respects the subject and holds edit integrity, and we give your edit team material to build a film around.
