COMPANY PROFILE
Based in Paris and Berlin, Coproduction Office is a leading international distributor and producer of bold, auteur-driven films, known for their daring content and distinctive cinematic language.
Founded by Philippe Bober, Coproduction Office has been instrumental in launching and supporting the careers of pioneering directors.* Bober has produced over forty films, most of which have been selected for the main competitions at Cannes, Venice, and Berlin. These films have garnered numerous prestigious awards, including: the Golden Lion in Venice for Roy Andersson’s A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014), and two Palme d’Or at Cannes for Ruben Östlund’s The Square (2017) and Triangle of Sadness (2022).
Our international sales division represents films produced by Philippe Bober, selected acquisitions, and restored classics by master filmmakers such as Roberto Rossellini, Márta Mészáros, and Konrad Wolf. Over the past decade, Coproduction Office has also expanded organically, diversifying its activities to include:
The production of visual art
An art gallery
A wine bar in Berlin and the import of organic wines
We offer an international, collaborative, and fast-paced workplace. Team members benefit from strong collegial support, meaningful responsibilities, cross-departmental involvement, and opportunities for career advancement — all while contributing to the work of some of today’s most exciting and visionary directors and artists.
