About Partizan
Partizan is an award-winning production company with a worldwide reputation for creative excellence. Since its launch in 1991 Partizan has become one of the world's leading producers of content - from music videos and commercials to documentaries, feature films, animation and online and branded content.
The company has offices in London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Shanghai and Mumbai.
Commercials
We have made countless commercials for many of the world's leading brands, including Audi, Orange, 3 Mobile, Nokia, Motorola, Coca-Cola, Cadbury's, Vodafone, MTV, Diesel, Adidas and Nike.
We have won lots of awards for our work, including over 40 Cannes Lions, including the Cannes Grand Prix (2001) and Cannes Palme d'Or (2003), over 50 Clios, including 2 Grand Clios, 35 Yellow Pencils and an elusive Black Pencil at D&AD.
We're also pleased to say that we have built great relationships with all the top agencies and many of their clients, and repeat business means just as much to us as all the shiny metal on our awards shelves.
Music Videos
Our music videos are often listed on lists of all time or annual favourites and for the last two years we have won both Best Director and Best Producer at the CADS (now renamed the UK Music Video Awards). We have also won many MTV and Grammy awards.
Artists we have worked with include Bjork, Beyonce, Daft Punk, U2, Jay-Z, White Stripes, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Chemical Brothers, Madonna, Kings of Leon, Lily Allen, Foo Fighers, Kylie Minogue, Soulwax, Duffy, Janet Jackson, Beck, MGMT, Rolling Stones and Klaxons.
Partizan Lab - Animation
Our animation division, Partizan Lab, handles all types of animation from hand-drawn 2D and stopmotion to motion graphics and full 3D.
Partizan Lab also has in house post-production facilities and has created animation for websites including M&M's. Our animators are also available as illustrators and character designers.
Partizan Films
Our feature films include the Oscar-winning feature film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which starred Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet; The Science of Sleep, starring Gael Garcia Bernal; and Be Kind Rewind, which starred Jack Black. The Science of Sleep and Be Kind Rewind were both selected for the Sundance International Film Festival and for the Berlinale.
2008 saw the release of Saam Farahmand's documentary about Soulwax/2manydjs, Part of The Weekend Never Dies. Partizan's next feature film, Turn It Loose, a breakdancing documentary from Alastair Siddons, will be out in 2009.
The Darkroom - everything else!
The Darkroom is Partizan's newest division and was set up to offer integrated, comprehensive solutions to brands looking for fresh ways to connect and interact with consumers.
Specialising in online content and innovative digital and interactive work, we have produced online video content for brands including Xbox, MTV, Volkswagen.com, Wallpaper* and Adidas. We have also created installations for MINI and Volkswagen and visuals for Alexander McQueen and Puma
