Sidonie Dumas is CEO of France’s oldest film company Gaumont. Under her leadership, it quit the exhibition sector in 2017 to focus on film and TV production as well as theatrical distribution at home. The company was still in the midst of this transition when the pandemic struck. It delivered a double blow as film and TV shoots shut down and cinemas closed for 14 weeks in the first lockdown, and then from October 30 until at least January 7, 2021, amid a second wave of the coronavirus.
