Cinémaginaire

Cinémaginaire is a Canadian film production company headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. The company is associated with co-founders Denise Robert and Daniel Louis, who have held the positions of president and vice president respectively. Its activities are centered on the development and production of feature films and related screen content within Quebec and the wider Canadian film industry. Public reference material identifies Cinémaginaire as an independent production entity rather than a broadcaster, cinema operator, distributor, or consumer-facing entertainment retailer. The company has been discussed in Canadian film-industry trade and cultural sources, including coverage connected with Quebec cinema and profiles maintained by Telefilm Canada and the British Film Institute. Available reference material does not establish a founding year, a complete filmography, ownership structure, financial performance, or a current operating status. A reference to Zone 3 acquiring Cinémaginaire indicates a significant corporate change, but the supplied material does not provide enough verified detail to specify the transaction date, consideration, resulting organizational structure, or whether the Cinémaginaire brand continues as a standalone operation. The company is therefore best characterized as a Montreal-based Canadian film-production brand with a documented leadership association with Robert and Louis, while many details of its corporate history and present-day business remain unconfirmed.

Cinémaginaire is identified in reference sources as a Canadian film production company based in Montreal, Quebec. Its public profile is closely associated with Denise Robert and Daniel Louis, who are described as co-founders and who served as president and vice president respectively. This leadership structure places the company within Quebec’s locally rooted independent film-production community rather than within the large multinational studio system. The available material does not specify the company’s incorporation year, original capitalization, first production, or the full sequence of its corporate development. Trade and institutional references nevertheless indicate that Cinémaginaire was an established participant in the Canadian screen sector. The company has appeared in Quebec film-industry coverage and in profiles maintained by organizations such as Telefilm Canada and the British Film Institute. A historical reference also describes an acquisition of Cinémaginaire by Zone 3, suggesting that the company underwent a notable ownership or group-affiliation change. The supplied sources do not provide a verified date or detailed terms for that transaction, so its precise place in the company’s timeline cannot be stated here. They also do not clarify whether Cinémaginaire retained a separate production label, was fully integrated into Zone 3, or continued operating independently afterward. Consequently, the company’s documented history supports a concise account: Cinémaginaire emerged as a Montreal film-production company founded by Robert and Louis, developed a recognized presence in Quebec and Canadian cinema, and was later associated with an acquisition by Zone 3. Detailed chronology, film-by-film output, financial data, and present status require further primary or archival research.
