Ad Vitam is a French independent film company headquartered in Paris. It specializes in film distribution, but has since expanded into film production.[2] Since its founding in 1998, Ad Vitam has become one of France's leading independent distribution companies.[3]

History

[edit]

Ad Vitam was founded in 1998 by Alexandra Henochsberg, Gregory Gajos and Arthur Hallereau.[3] The company distributed its first film on 27 January 1999, La révolution sexuelle n'a pas eu lieu, directed by Judith Cahen.[4][5]

As of 2015, Ad Vitam had released more than eighty films in French cinemas. According to Gregory Gajos, head of acquisitions, the company's programming is driven by an impulse to "First, choose films that we like, then think about their success".[6]

Ad Vitam is a member of the Syndicat des Distributeurs indépendants réunis européens (DIRE) alongside fourteen other distribution companies, including BAC Films, Capricci, Diaphana, Haut et Court, Le Pacte, Les Films du Losange, Memento Distribution, Pyramide Distribution, Rezo Films, SBS Distribution, The Jokers, UFO Distribution, Wild Bunch Distribution and Zinc.[7]
