About

Founded in 1973, KG Productions is the production company established by Costa-Gavras and Michèle Ray-Gavras. Since its inception, the company has supported Costa-Gavras throughout his career while remaining committed to discovering and producing new talent, including Mehdi Charef, Tony Gatlif, Jean Teulé, Salem Brahimi, as well as Liria Bégéja (Far from the Barbarians), Laurent Herbiet (Mon Colonel), and more recently Rayhana (I Still Hide to Smoke).

In 2012, Alexandre Gavras joined the company and produced Xavier Legrand's Avant que de tout perdre, which went on to receive more than one hundred festival awards, an Academy Award nomination, and a César Award. He also produced Blaise, a 30 × 3-minute animated series for ARTE, based on Dimitri Planchon's graphic novel of the same name.

It received two major awards at the 74th Venice International Film Festival and was widely acclaimed, winning several César Awards. In 2021, Joachim Lafosse's The Restless was selected for the Official Competition at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2023, Légua, directed by João Miller Guerra and Filipa Reis, was selected for the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival.
