Hauteville Productions started as an independent documentary production compary, born of a desire to make sense of the world, favoring an auteur's approach with a strong vision aimed at a broad audience.

It was founded in 2017 by:

​

• Karina Si Ahmed, executive and creative producer. Since 2007, she produced over 40 documentaries and news magazines, including many films of international scope, like William Karel's Barack Obama - Great Expectations (2x52' - 2012). Her productions have been regularly acclaimed by the critics and awarded in numerous festivals in France and abroad, like The Blob, a Genius Without a Brain (2020) and Women Under Hitler's Flag (2023).

 

• Guillaume Allary, the successful publisher of the internationally acclaimed bestselling graphic novel series The Arab of the Future by Riad Sattouf, which has sold more that 3 million copies and has been awarded multiple prizes. Allary Editions' authors include Matthieu Ricard, Diane Brasseur, Lauren Bastide, Michel Hazanavicius, Raphaël Glucksmann...

 

They have been joined by Manka Sierakowski for legal and financial follow-up, Gilles Walger as a line producer and Lisa Place as a production assistant.

 

In 2021, they decided to widen their activities into drama productions and animation. 

​

Hauteville Productions has been nominated at Procirep Award for Best French TV Producer in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
