COMPANY PROFILE

We are looking for a globally minded, results-oriented colleague with strong organisational skills and a keen interest in culture to join our team of thirty, working in a dynamic and international environment. You will start as an intern, assisting our team, with the potential to transition into a full-time role.

Based in Paris and Berlin, Coproduction Office is a leading international distributor and producer of bold, auteur-driven films, known for their daring content and distinctive cinematic language.

Founded by Philippe Bober, Coproduction Office has been instrumental in launching and supporting the careers of pioneering directors.* Bober has produced over forty films, most of which have been selected for the main competitions at Cannes, Venice, and Berlin. These films have garnered numerous prestigious awards, including: the Golden Lion in Venice for Roy Andersson’s A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014), and two Palme d’Or at Cannes for Ruben Östlund’s The Square (2017) and Triangle of Sadness (2022). Our international sales division represents films produced by Philippe Bober, selected acquisitions, and restored classics by master filmmakers Roberto Rossellini, Márta Mészáros, or Konrad Wolf.

Coproduction Office has expanded organically while diversifying its activities over the past decade. Its sister company, Briefmarken Weine, is one of Berlin’s most renowned wine bars, offering artisanal and natural wines paired with authentic Italian bistro cuisine, and also imports Italian vin d’auteur to Germany. Other ventures include on-site cinemas, gastronomy, the production and distribution of visual art, and the restoration of milestones in film history. In 2024, the company launched Galerie Philippe Bober, a contemporary art gallery in Berlin showcasing both established and emerging artists whose work intersects with cinema and radical aesthetics.
