THE COMPANY
AGAT FILMS & Cie and EX NIHILO form a collective of six producers, brought together by a number of common values with the desire to allow each one to express an individual point of view and sensitivity. This mutual respect lies at the heart of a company culture that strives to maintain the balance between pleasure (each producer's desire) and reality (the smooth running of the company).
This basic system has allowed us to launch a production policy going from the search for writers to that for directors with opposing artistic and aesthetic concerns.


AGAT FILMS / EX NIHILO STAFF
This culture of diversity is closely linked to the need to produce in highly varied genres: original documentaries, science programming, animated films, theme evenings, live performances, big-screen productions, etc.


PRESS REVIEW EXTRACTS
This tension and continual movement between documentary and fiction is experienced by the collective as one of the ways of deepening the relationship to our times, to participate in understanding and questioning them. It's also a necessary condition to maintain a spirit of independence and creation opposed to any formatting or standardization of the works produced.
The refusal to separate and prioritize genres has led to highly unexpected encounters, allowing writers and directors to pass from one field to another, and the meaningful confrontation between the real world and that of the imagination.
