Philippe Bober (Strasbourg, France) moved to West-Berlin at the age of 22 where he established Coproduction Office while setting up the international production of Lars von Trier’s Europa (Cannes Jury Prize, 1992). He went on to co-produce the Danish director’s mini-series The Kingdom and Breaking the Waves (Cannes 1996 Grand Jury Prize).
In the late nineties, Bober established long-lasting cooperations with auteurs Ulrich Seidl, Roy Andersson, and Jessica Hausner, all of whose films have since been produced by Bober - including Seidl’s Paradise trilogy, Roy Andersson’s Golden Lion En duva satt på en gren och funderade på tillvaron / A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014), and Jessica Hausner’s Cannes Competition entries Little Joe (2019) and Club Zero (2023).
Bober joined the founding team of the Sarajevo Film Festival in 1996 and served as Head Programmer until 1998. He initiated the industry meetings CineLink and its work-in-progress section. He also programmed the New Currents section until 2013, through which he discovered emerging talents, like Ruben Östlund with a short film selected in 2005.
Bober has produced forty-three films to date, thirteen of which premiered in competition at Cannes, winning the Palme d’Or twice: The Square (Perlak, 2017) and Triangle of Sadness (Perlak, 2022), both directed by Ruben Östlund. Coproduction Office includes production divisions in Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, and London, as well as a Paris-based international sales branch, whose catalogue comprises films produced by Bober, as well as restorations of masterpieces by Roberto Rossellini or Konrad Wolf.
Current and upcoming Coproduction Office films include features by above-mentioned directors as well as Dau by Ilya Khrzhanovskyi, the next films by Susanne Heinrich, Michelangelo Frammartino, Carlos Reygadas, Zapruder, Sergei Loznitsa, and Syeyoung Park.
