Les Films du Tambour de Soie

LES FILMS DU TAMBOUR DE SOIE has produced documentaries for 25 years. The company was founded in 1987, its name inspired by our first production of a theatre play by Mishima (Aya no Tzuzumi or The Silk Drum). In 1993 the company settled in Marseilles, developing an editorial focus on films about art and the Mediterranean culture. LES FILMS DU TAMBOUR DE SOIE work regularly with National French Museums (the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, Georges Pompidou) and produce every year between six and eight hours of programmes for French broadcasters (Arte, France 5 and France 3) and foreign channels (RTBF in Belgium, TSR in Switzerland and YLE in Finland). They were selected in 2001, 2004 and 2011 for the Prix du Producteur Français (French Producer Award) granted by the PROCIREP. Today their catalogue contains more than a hundred films distributed by Doc&Co, Andana Films, Terranoa, France Télévision Distribution and Arte Distribution.
