Gaumont Pathé

Gaumont Pathé Archives was set up after the catalogues of  Cinémathèque Gaumont and Pathé Archives were combined in 2004. This  venture is now the leading French image bank for black and white and  colour images illustrating the history of the 20th and 21st centuries.  The archive contains nearly 12,000 hours of footage including Pathé, Gaumont  and Eclair newsreels from 1908 to 1979, Sygma archives and the recently  acquired Soviet archives from the Arkeion catalog, and numerous  documentaries. 

Gaumont-Pathe Archives also conserves and showcases silent movies  from the combined catalogues of Gaumont and Pathé which contains over  2,000 titles. These include films by the founding fathers of French  cinema, from Leonce Perret and Albert Capellani to Ferdinand Zecca and Louis Feuillade.
