COMPANY PROFILE


Based in Paris and Ber­lin, Copro­duc­tion Office stands at the fore­front of auteur cine­ma as an inter­na­tio­nal dis­tri­bu­tor and pro­du­cer of bold, award-win­ning films. The company’s foun­der, Phil­ip­pe Bober, has col­la­bo­ra­ted with pro­mi­nent and pio­nee­ring direc­tors* from the ear­liest stages of their care­ers. He has pro­du­ced for­ty-four films to date, the majo­ri­ty of which were sel­ec­ted for the main com­pe­ti­ti­ons at the Can­nes, Venice, and Ber­lin film fes­ti­vals. They recei­ved major pri­zes, inclu­ding the Venice Gol­den Lion for Roy Andersson’s A PIGEON SAT ON A BRANCH REFLECTING ON EXISTENCE in 2014 and two Pal­me d’Ors for Ruben Östlund’s THE SQUARE in 2017 and TRIANGLE OF SADNESS in 2022.

Copro­duc­tion Office’s inter­na­tio­nal sales divi­si­on dis­tri­bu­tes films with often dar­ing con­tent and a distinc­ti­ve cine­ma­tic lan­guage, inclu­ding tho­se pro­du­ced by Phil­ip­pe Bober, acqui­red titles, and res­to­red clas­sics by Rober­to Ros­sel­li­ni, Kon­rad Wolf, and other mas­ter film­ma­kers.

Copro­duc­tion Office offers an inter­na­tio­nal and dyna­mic work­place. Employees bene­fit from robust sup­port, signi­fi­cant respon­si­bi­li­ty, cross-depart­ment­al invol­vement, and clear care­er pro­gres­si­on, along with the oppor­tu­ni­ty to work clo­se­ly on pro­jects by some of the most exci­ting and accom­plished direc­tors. The com­pa­ny con­ti­nues to grow while diver­si­fy­ing its ope­ra­ti­ons to include on-site cine­mas, gas­tro­no­my, imports of orga­nic wines, pro­duc­tion and dis­tri­bu­ti­on of visu­al art, and res­to­ra­ti­ons of mile­sto­nes in film histo­ry.
