Case Study 1
Originally known as Société Pathé Frères in Paris on September 28th 1896. Pathe was discovered by brothers Emile, Charles, Theophile and Jacques Pathe. Pathe had become one of the largest film equiptment and production companies. Charles Pathe was the man who started the company alongside his brothers. As he was successful he decided to expand his company and made the company public where there were shares available at the Paris Stock Exchange.
In 1896 Mitchell Mark of Buffalo, New York was the first man to import Pathe films to the United States. By 1902 Pathe expanded to London, where they set up production facilities and a chain of movie theatres. By 1909 Pathe had built up over 200 movie theaters in France and Belgium and by the end of 1910 they had theaters in many other countries such as Madrid, Australia and New York. It was estimated that at one point, 60% of all films were shot by Pathe equpitment.
By the time Pathe stopped producing the cinema newsreel in 1970 they had over 3500 hours of video, 12 million still images in 75 years of entertainment. British Pathe is owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust Group however British Pathe footage sales are now managed by ITN Source.
