Biography[edit]
Born into a family of doctors, Braunberger at the age of seven was
already determined not have the same life as his father, and not to
take up medicine as a career. He saw a screening of
Fantômas

Fantômas at the
Gaumont Théâtre, the first cinema to open in Paris, and decided to
work in the cinema.
After the First World War, at the age of 15, he produced and directed
his first film:
Frankfurt

Frankfurt in Germany. He left for successive
adventures in Berlin, London at Brocklis establishments, where he
worked.
In 1923, he left for New York, where he worked for a few weeks at Fox
Film Corporation, and became a director of production along with
Ferdinand H. Adam where he also worked on films with Frank Merrill.
In the course of his films in Los Angeles, he came to know Irving
Thalberg who employed him at
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as one of his
assistants. He stayed there for eighteen months, and established
contacts with one of the greatest directors of the time.
Wanting to direct and produce in France, he returned to Paris and got
to know Jean Renoir, with whom he worked on Avec qui il va tourner, la
Fille de l'eau, Nana and Tire-au-flanc.
In 1929,
Pierre Braunberger created Productions
Pierre Braunberger and
Néofilms for the production of his first French-speaking film (La
route est belle by Robert Florey).
In 1930, Pierre Braunberger, became head of the Pantheon Cinema and
continued there for sixty years. He renovated the lobby, created 450
seats, and installed
Western Electric

Western Electric projectors and sound equipment.
Although subtitles were yet to be invented, he was the first to show
foreign films in their original versions.
One year later, he met with
Roger Richebé to produce under the name
of Établissements Braunberger-Richebé. A few films were produced,
such as le Blanc et le noir by Robert Florey,
Isn't Life a Bitch? by
Jean Renoir, and Chocolatière et Fanny by Marc Allégret. In 1933,
still only 28, he decided to continue alone, and formed studios de
Billancourt, which became Paris-Studio-Cinéma. During World War two
he was not able to produce a film because he was Jewish.[1]
At the end of the Second World War,
Pierre Braunberger transformed a
local Gestapo office into the Cinema Studio "Studio Lhmond", which he
used to discover new talents of the "nouvelle vague", such as
Jean-Pierre Melville,
Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard and Alain Resnais.
In 1966 he was the head of the jury at the 16th Berlin International
Film Festival.[2]
Braunberger died in 1990.
