About Us

Carlotta Films is a French film distribution company founded in 1998 by Vincent Paul-Boncour and Jean-Pierre Gardelli.

Carlotta Films, a theatrical film distribution and DVD publishing company, was founded in 1998 with the aim of promoting classic cinema. The objective was, and remains, to release older films in theaters in new and restored prints so that audiences can (re)discover them in the best possible conditions, while creating a new visual identity for each film (poster, trailer, etc.).

In order to further its work, Carlotta Films established a DVD publishing division in 2002 with the ambition of offering previously unreleased films on DVD (and, since 2008, also on Blu-ray) in high-quality editions in terms of bonus features and packaging.

In April 2010, Carlotta Films launched its news and video-on-demand website, to extend its editorial policy with the latest distribution methods.

Over time, Carlotta Films has developed its film catalogue, which highlights the major components of the company's identity: American, Japanese, Italian, and children's cinema. From Billy Wilder to Pasolini, from Ozu to Fassbinder and Carlos Saura, including treasures of silent film, the richness and originality of its catalogue have largely contributed to making Carlotta Films a benchmark in its field.
