History

Producers Iain Canning and Emile Sherman co-founded See-Saw Films in 2008.[1]

In 2011, See-Saw won the Academy Award for Best Picture for their film The King's Speech directed by Tom Hooper. The film stars Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter.[2][3][4]

See-Saw's first television series was Top Of The Lake, directed by Jane Campion and starring Elisabeth Moss and Holly Hunter. The first series released in 2013 and was nominated for eight Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards.[5] The second series, Top Of The Lake: China Girl, also directed by Campion, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2017.[6] Elisabeth Moss reprises her role as Detective Robin Griffin in Top Of The Lake: China Girl, which also stars Nicole Kidman and Gwendoline Christie.[7]

See-Saw produced Lion, which premiered in 2016 at the Toronto International Film Festival and stars Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman and Rooney Mara.[8][9] The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, won two BAFTA Awards, and won 12 AACTA Awards.[10][11]

In 2019, See-Saw produced short-form British comedy series, State of the Union, which premiered on Sundance TV. The first season won three Emmy Awards and stars Rosamund Pike and Chris O'Dowd. In 2021, the series was renewed for a second season and stars Brendan Gleeson and Patricia Clarkson.[12]

In 2021 releases included British TV series The North Water, written and directed by Andrew Haigh, starring Jack O'Connell and Colin Farrell; and Australian TV series Firebite, written by Warwick Thornton and Brendan Fletcher and directed by Thornton, Fletcher and Tony Krawitz. Both series premiered on AMC+ in the United States.[13][14]

Toward the end of 2021, Netflix released The Power of the Dog, which is See-Saw's second collaboration with Jane Campion.[15] In 2022, the film won two BAFTAs including Best Film, and was nominated for 12 Academy Awards, with Jane Campion going on to win Best Director.[16] The film originally premiered at the 78th Venice International Film Festival and Campion was awarded the Silver Lion for Best Director.[citation needed]

See-Saw's films that released in 2022 were Operation Mincemeat and The Stranger.[18][19] Florian Zeller's The Son premiered at the 79th Venice International Film Festival and will release theatrically in early 2023.[20]

In March 2025, French media conglomerate Mediawan acquired a 51% majority stake in See-Saw Films in a cash and stock deal for an undisclosed sum.[21]
