After Argos Films
About
The company, which played a significant role in the New Wave movement, has produced and co-produced nearly forty features and nearly a hundred shorts. Over a period of forty years, no other independent French film company has garnered such major awards in France and internationally, including two Palmes d’Or and an Oscar.
Considered to be the depository of indispensable and enduring classics of the history of cinema and one of the greatest independent collections in the country, the Argos collection boasts award winning feature films such as In the Realm of the Senses, The Tin Drum, Wings of Desire, Paris Texas AND a myriad of internationally acclaimed directors: Walerian Borowczyk, Robert Bresson, Jean-Luc Godard, Joris Ivens, Chris Marker, Nagisa Oshima, Alain Resnais, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Jean Rouch, Volker Schlöndorf, Andreï Tarkovski, Wim Wenders…
Argos Films has produced thoughtful cinema at the crossroads of fiction, narrative audacity, artistic expression, and technological innovation. The diversity of its collection has been compared to an aesthetic Rubik’s Cube: art films, animation, love, politics, spirituality, war, oppression and the exquisite artistry of erotic cinema.
In a world where immediacy and superficiality menace the ideals of an open and diverse society, the Argos Films collection invites programmers and spectators to revisit landmarks of cinema history and continue questioning and exploring our world.
