With 600 restored titles available in DCP, cinema operators can curate their own selection and present their own treasures to audiences.
A Selection to Get Emotional with Gaumont
Since its founding in 1895, Gaumont has been thrilling audiences with diverse stories that evoke laughter, tears, and chills. This selection pays tribute, through its eclecticism, to the films that have captivated viewers both in France and around the world.
For laughter, audiences can rely on great comedy classics like The Dinner Game, The Visitors, and Where the Hell is the G Compagny ?
For a thrilling movie session, enthusiasts will be drawn to the tension in 36, recently restored in 4K, or the chilling Eyes Without a Face.
