Epinay Studios

Film studios located in Paris

The early Eclair studio at Epinay

The Epinay Studios are film production studios located in Epinay in northern Paris. It was a complex with two distinct and separate structures. The earliest was built in 1902 by Eclair Film.^[1] A second studio was controlled by the French subsidiary of the German company Tobis Film. These were converted for sound in February 1929.^[2] The same year the other studio was acquired by Pathé-Natan.

The launch of the Cité du Cinéma in 2012, also in Seine-Saint-Denis, greatly slowed down interest in the Épinay studios.^[3]
