Gaumont SA
 PROFILE
Gaumont has the Gaul to be the world's oldest film company. Founded in 1895, the French company produces and distributes movies ("The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc") and owns and operates about 360 movie theaters across France, mostly multiplexes. Chairman Nicolas Seydoux (brother of Jérôme Seydoux, who owns rival production, distribution, and exhibition firm Pathé) has refocused the company on film production and exhibition, opening 40 new theaters in 1999 and selling its TV production (Gaumont Television) and animation (Gaumont Multimedia) units. Through CinéPar, Nicolas Seydoux controls about 55% of Gaumont, but the Seydoux brothers have announced plans to merge their film companies.
