Serge Silberman
Serge Silberman( 1 May 1917 – 22 July 2003) was a French film producer.
Silberman was born in Łódź, then a part of the Regency Kingdom of Poland in a Jewish family.
During World
War II Silberman survived Nazi concentration camps and eventually settled in Paris.
One of his first works as a film producer was Jean- Pierre Melville's 1955 film" Bob the Gambler", a precursor to the French New Wave movement.
Silberman's most notable collaborations were with the surrealist film director Luis Buñuel.
The pair, along with screenwriter Jean- Claude Carrière, who Silberman introduced to Buñuel, worked together on a number of films, starting with the 1964 film" Diary of a Chambermaid".
Silberman produced most of Buñuel's late films, including the Academy Award winner" The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" in 1972 and the director's very last film" That Obscure Object of Desire" in 1977.
Silberman had founded his own production company, Greenwich Film Productions, in 1966.
The company was responsible for the production of over 15 films.
In 1981, Silberman produced his most financially successful film, Jean- Jacques Beineix's" Diva".
The film was not well received in the country of its origin, France, but became a box- office hit abroad.
The money gained from the movie enabled Silberman to provide funding for Akira Kurosawa's ambitious 1985 film" Ran", which at the time of its making was the most expensive Japanese film ever.
Silberman was awarded an honorary César Award in 1988.
He died in Paris in 2003 at the age of 86.

Luis Buñuel
Luis Buñuel Portolés (22 February 1900 – 29 July 1983) was a Spanish-born Mexican filmmaker who worked in France, Mexico and Spain.
When Buñuel died at age 83, his obituary in "The New York Times" called him "an iconoclast, moralist, and revolutionary who was a leader of avant-garde surrealism in his youth and a dominant international movie director half a century later".
His first picture, "Un Chien Andalou"—made in the silent era—was called "the most famous short film ever made" by critic Roger Ebert, and his last film, "That Obscure Object of Desire"—made 48 years later—won him Best Director awards from the National Board of Review and the National Society of Film Critics.
Writer Octavio Paz called Buñuel's work "the marriage of the film image to the poetic image, creating a new reality...scandalous and subversive".
Often associated with the surrealist movement of the 1920s, Buñuel created films from the 1920s through the 1970s.
His work spans two continents, three languages, and an array of genres, including experimental film, documentary, melodrama, satire, musical, erotica, comedy, romance, costume dramas, fantasy, crime film, adventure, and western.
Despite this variety, filmmaker John Huston believed that, regardless of genre, a Buñuel film is so distinctive as to be instantly recognizable, or, as Ingmar Bergman put it, "Buñuel nearly always made Buñuel films".
Seven of Buñuel's films are included in "Sight & Sound"<nowiki>'</nowiki>s

The Milky Way (1969 film)
The Milky Way is a 1969 surrealist film directed by Luis Buñuel.
It stars Laurent Terzieff, Paul Frankeur, Delphine Seyrig, Georges Marchal and Michel Piccoli.
Buñuel later called" The Milky Way" the first in a trilogy( along with" The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" and" The Phantom of Liberty") about" the search for truth."
The title of the film is taken from a popular name used for the Way of St. James, a route often traveled by religious pilgrims that stretched from northern Europe to the Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
This is where the remains of St. James were reputed to be buried.
The film follows the picaresque journey of two vagabond travelers, who seem to be making the pilgrimage as a means of escape.
Along the way, they witness a series of bizarre incidents that involve persons named in documented heresies in church history.
At key moments they encounter Jesus and the Virgin Mary, as well as modern believers and fanatics.
The plot is non-linear and functions as a highly symbolic travelogue across time and space, set over the last two thousand years.
It encompasses much of Christian history.
While using satire to critique religion from a skeptical perspective, it also explores the act of spiritual quest and search for meaning.
The highly idiosyncratic film originally met with limited success.
In the 21st century, it is very well- regarded amongst film enthusiasts and critics.
