Since its creation in 1987, JBA Production has explored new cinematographic worlds, focused on new talent uniting high stakes in both content and cinematic form. In this way, we have produced more than 120 films.

Fiction emerged through the continuity of our documentary work and in the same orientation. In our early years, we produced "Ni con Dios, ni con el Diablo"(Peru), "Tinpis Run"(Papua New Guinea) and "Les Enfants du Diable" (France). In 1994 at the Cannes Film Festival, three films we produced were presented in the Official Selection. Two first films, "Les Gens de la Rizière" by Rithy Panh (Cambodia), "Xime" by Sana N'Nhada (Guinea-Bissau) and "Bab el Oued City", the fifth feature by Merzak Allouache, a witness to the mounting violence of his native Algeria.
