BAC Films
BAC Films is a French film production and distribution company. Based in Paris, the company was founded in 1986 by Jean Labadie, Éric Heumann, and Stéphane Sorlat. Capital shares of the company were re-allocated in 1988 when Vivendi took 10% followed by a 20% stake in the capital of the company, which allowed BAC Films to make major and ambitious acquisitions. History BAC Films had an early success in 1990 with '' Sailor et Lula'', a Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival. The releases of ''Barton Fink'' and '' Tous les matins du monde'' in 1991, '' Indochine'' and ''Le Zèbre'' in 1992, and '' La Leçon de piano'' in 1993 placed BAC Films at the top of the independent film distribution industry in France.

It is the oldest and largest precursor of national cinemas in Europe; with primary influence also on the creation of national cinemas in Asia.

A study in April 2014 showed that French cinema maintains a positive influence around the world, being the most appreciated by global audiences after that of America. France currently has the most successful film industry in Europe, in terms of number of films produced per annum, with a record-breaking 300 feature-length films produced in 2015. France is also one of the few countries where non-American productions have the biggest share: American films only represented ...

Drowning By Numbers
''Drowning by Numbers'' is a 1988 British-Dutch film directed by Peter Greenaway. It won the award for Best Artistic Contribution at the Cannes Film Festival of 1988. Plot The film's plot centres on three married women — a grandmother, her daughter, and her niece — each named Cissie Colpitts. As the story progresses, each woman successively drowns her husband. The three Cissie Colpittses are played by Joan Plowright, Juliet Stevenson and Joely Richardson, while Bernard Hill plays the coroner, Madgett, who is cajoled into covering up the three crimes.
