Django Films is a film studio run by the Oscar nominated French animator Sylvain Chomet. The studio, named after the jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, is based in Edinburgh, Chomet's adopted home. Produced The Illusionist, based upon a hitherto unproduced script by Jacques Tati. Also, "Les Triplettes de Belleville" (80 min – 2003) and "La Vielle Dame et Les Pigeons" (23 min - 1998). The Django Films studio was set up solely to make this film, and is now being dismantled.
Famous quotes containing the word films:
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
