The Gaumont Film Company, often shortened to Gaumont, is a French major film studio founded by the engineer-turned-inventor Léon Gaumont (1864-1946), in 1895. It is the first and oldest film company in the world, founded before other studios such as Pathé (founded in 1896), Titanus (1904), Nordisk Film (1906), Universal and Paramount (both founded in 1912). The company headquarters are in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.
Gaumont predominantly produces, co-produces, and distributes films, and in 2011, 95% of Gaumont's consolidated revenues came from the film division. The company is increasingly becoming a TV series producer with its new American subsidiary Gaumont International Television as well as its existing French production features.
