<u>Background:</u> Triumph Films (also known as "Triumph Releasing Corporation") was originally formed in 1982 as a joint venture between Columbia Pictures and the legendary French studio Gaumont Film Company to distribute Gaumont content and some independent films in the US. This joint venture lasted until 1985, when Gaumont was looking to set up their own operations in the states. However, Columbia (through Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) retained the Triumph branding rights and all films distributed during the venture. In 1988, it was revived as a specialty label to handle independent, low-budget, and direct-to-video film releases as well as distributing Epic Productions and Vision International releases theatrically. The label went dormant again in 1998, and was reactivated in 2002 to release independent and direct-to-video fare such as ''Steamboy'' and the informaus ''Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2''. Triumph Films has been in dormancy again since 2008 and has only been revived once as a one-off label in 2014. | <u>Background:</u> Triumph Films (also known as "Triumph Releasing Corporation") was originally formed in 1982 as a joint venture between Columbia Pictures and the legendary French studio Gaumont Film Company to distribute Gaumont content and some independent films in the US.
