Partizan

Partizan is an international creative production company working across commercials, music videos, feature films, television, animation, documentaries and branded content. Founded in Paris in 1986 by Georges Bermann as Midi Minuit, it expanded into London and the United States in 1990–1991 and adopted the Partizan name for its international operations.

Music video production played a central role in the company's development. Its longstanding collaboration with director Michel Gondry spans work for Daft Punk, Björk, The Chemical Brothers and The White Stripes, alongside feature films including Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep. This body of work connects the company's music video heritage with its continuing activity in narrative filmmaking and animation.

Production across formats

Partizan produces live-action advertising and branded content, supporting projects through direction, production and associated post-production capabilities. Its commercial portfolio includes Honda's Cog, directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet, and Levi's campaigns directed by Gondry. Its wider production work encompasses documentary filmmaking, scripted television and feature development.

Animation and mixed-media production form another part of the business. Through its dedicated animation division, Partizan Studio, the company offers 2D and 3D animation, motion graphics and character design. Its broader production organisation also incorporates post-production, visual effects, colour grading and representation for directors and screenwriters working in long-form projects.

International reach

The company operates through core production hubs in Paris, London and Los Angeles, with a corporate legal base in New York and contracted sales representation across North America. Its work serves advertising agencies, recording artists and music companies, film studios, streaming platforms and brands in sectors including fashion, luxury, consumer electronics and automotive. Across these markets, Partizan combines commercial production with music, animation and long-form storytelling.
