Live and act

Dauman, the son of Polish Jews, came to France at a young age and was active in the resistance movement during World War II . In 1949 he founded the film production company Argos Films with Philippe Lifchitz, who was six years his senior, and became its general director.

With his first major work, Alexandre Astrucs “ The Scarlet Curtain ”, Dauman sketched out his production line: In his output, the producer favored artistically ambitious works: in addition to those from the hands of Resnais and Bresson, also those by the French avant-garde film makers Jean-Luc Godard and Chris Marker . Dauman also produced productions by the Japanese Nagisa Ōshima as well as individual works by the former "young filmmakers" Volker Schlöndorff and Wim Wenders , who work closely with French partners .
