Camera Lucida Productions

Camera Lucida Productions is a French production company founded in 1995. Based in Paris, it produces documentary works and recordings of live performances that bring together culture, history, science, and innovation. With nearly fifty programmes per year, the company has established itself as a leading producer across all formats, from linear television to the most innovative, immersive, or interactive media: IMAX, 3D, iPad applications, VR, and AR. Recording live performances is part of its DNA, with credits including the Comédie-Française, Radio France, Opéra de Paris, and Philharmonie. Technological experimentation opens new uses, such as 360° filming or mixed live-action and animation. On the magazine side, Blow up (which became a weekly cinephile rendezvous on ARTE Cinéma) extends this spirit of exploration. A pioneer in virtual reality with The Enemy (co-produced with France Télévisions Nouvelles Écritures, the NFB, Dpt.Studio, Emissive, with support from the CNC and INA), Camera Lucida develops formats at the frontier between film and experience, working with MIT, Tribeca, and Sundance. It also creates filming devices for fashion (Hermès, Louis Vuitton, AMI…) that gather massive audiences across social media.
