AGAT FILMS & Cie / EX NIHILO was created more than 15 years ago. It is a unique and original
structure, run by a collective of eight associate producers. It leads a politically committed and diversified
production policy, tackling the most varied genres in audiovisual (fiction, documentary, magazine
program, television and cinema), in a spirit of independence and creation, and opposed to any formatting
or standardization of the works.
Amongst the films that mark the artistic identity of the company, there are Robert Guédiguian’s movies
(Marius & Jeannette).
AGAT FILMS & Cie has also been working on a regular basis with several film-makers such as Lucas
Belvaux (La raison du plus faible, Official Selection at Cannes Festival 2006), or Pierre Trividic and
Patrick-Mario Bernard (L’Autre, Volpi cup for Best Actress at the Venice Mostra 2008). The last film by
Marina de Van, Don’t look back, starring Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci was recently released.
For several years, AGAT FILMS & Cie has been producing around four feature films a year. It is through
this policy of diversified production that AGAT FILMS & Cie strives to participate in the good shape of
the ambitious French cinema. Our catalogue now shows 80 fictions and more than 200 documentaries.
