A cinema production house in Reims, Champagne, making brand films that taste like cinema for the houses and brands that aim for the big screen. The new site opens in January 2027, and until then the door is open.
■ Accredited from Cannes to Venice, on the film festivals of the world and beyond them. The same eye serves the brand films of luxury houses.

What we shoot
Champagne brand films first, then wine and spirits, luxury houses, hotels and the red carpets of film festivals. One rule everywhere. A film gets watched to the end, or it was not worth shooting.
Brand film, cuvée launch, estate portrait, winemaker documentary. We film the vines in their own light and the people who do the work. The cellar comes after the people. A champagne house asks for one film and keeps it for years.
Five-star hotels, restaurants, luxury houses, wine tourism. A hotel sells a night nobody has slept yet, so the film gets there first, shot at the pace of a stay rather than a checklist. Made so a concierge plays it unprompted.
Accredited at the Festival de Cannes, we shoot there every May for our own clients. Arrivals, talent, the film behind the film. The same discipline travels to other red carpets, galas and launch aftermovies, with enough distance to hold the frame.
Champagne · French Riviera
Champagne is where the work is grounded. Chalk cellars, houses older than most constitutions, growers who count time in harvests. A brand film starts on that ground, with people who have no patience for anything fake. The French Riviera is where the light gets tested. Every May, the red carpet in Cannes, a few metres from the people who make the films in competition. Paris sits between the two, where the houses decide. Three terrains, one eye.

Trends come with an expiry date. The right film does not.
Content gets scrolled. A film gets watched.
Champagne already taught us to wait.
Your cuvée took years. Its film deserves three minutes.
A great house never raises its voice. Neither does its film.
The crew
CINEDOCKS is a film crew based in Reims, at Les Docks Rémois, working across Champagne, Paris and the French Riviera. We like light that comes from a window and takes that last longer than a breath. The sound is recorded where it happens.
We make brand films and launch films for champagne houses and luxury brands, films for hotels and restaurants, coverage of festivals and galas, with photography and motion design when the film needs them. What ends up in a film we deliver was shot, not generated.
A short film, one to three minutes, that says who you are without reciting the catalogue. It lives on your site, in your tasting room and at your launches, long after the campaign ends.
Champagne, Paris and the French Riviera first, because that is where we spend most of the year. After that, wherever the film needs us, in France or abroad, with a crew sized to the film.
With a message, by email or WhatsApp. From first exchange to delivery, allow one to three months. You tell us what the film is for and we come back with a treatment and a schedule.
First exchange
One email is enough. Tell us about the cuvée or the evening you have in mind. We reply ourselves.
