AMV PRODUCTION, founded in 2009 by Annie Molin Vasseur became AMV FILMS PRODUCTION INC. in July of 2014.
Films produced by AMV FILMS PRODUCTION are distributed by AZ FILM DISTRIBUTION, Montreal, and by AMV DISTRIBUTION, Paris.
AMV FILMS PRODUCTION’s MISSION / A POETIC APPROACH
Since its inception, AMV FILMS PRODUCTION has been linked to the personality of its founder Annie Molin Vasseur. To her links with the literary world as a writer, and with that of the visual arts (Galerie Aubes 3935), and as an actress (Living Theater, New York). Annie brings her experience in these three artistic disciplines connecting visual images, words and movement.
AMV FILMS PRODUCTION develops a poetic approach, a small niche, but so rich in the history of cinema. If respect for technique is essential, our principle focus is on content. Without defining its work as experimental, the production of AMV FILMS PRODUCTION freely questions the making of films, marked among other things by a humanistic vision.
TEAM
Our company relies on a small crew working intimately together, with the desire to open up to different actors. Since 2017, we have had the privilege to work with the acclaimed artist Alisi Telengut, and in 2024 with the valuable collaborators Chloé Raimon, Christelle Barillet, Marc Poellhuber and Rebecca Haéri. They each bring their own personal poetic energy and style to this film.
Thanks to the faithful: Manuel Codina, Anthony Salvo, Philippe Vasseur, Pierre Ducrocq, Margaux Ouimet, Louis Haéri and Jean-Michel Molin.
