 === Background ===
 The '''Gaumont Film Company''' is a major French film studio established in 1895 by engineer-turned-inventor Léon '''Gaumont''' (1864–1946). It is the world's first and oldest film studio, established before [[Pathé (France)|Pathé]] (founded in 1896), [[Titanus (Italy)|Titanus]] (1904), [[Nordisk Film (Denmark)|Nordisk Film]] (1906), [[Universal Pictures|Universal]], [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]], and [[Nikkatsu (Japan)|Nikkatsu]] (founded in 1912).
+'''Gaumont-Franco Film-Aubert''' was formed from a merger of Gaumont and Franco Film-Aubert. Known as GFFA, it went into liquidation in 1935 and was taken over in 1938. By that time, the company was renamed "Société Nouvelle des Etablissement Gaumont" (SNEG).
