Imax, Federation & Imago Join Forces On Documentary ‘Patrouille De France'
Imax is embarking on its first-ever foreign language documentary, partnering with Federation Studios and Imago Production on Patrouille de France. The film will chronicle a year in the life of the aerobatics team of the French Air and Space Force, from the selection process and intense training to its signature elite aerial displays. The announcement was made today at the Cannes Film Festival where, three years ago, the troupe buzzed the Palais in a stunning tribute ahead of the Top Gun: Maverick premiere.
Currently in production and set for an early 2026 release, Patrouille de France is being developed in partnership with Paris-based production giant Federation Studios and newly created indie production company Imago Production. Mathieu Giombini directs.

Added Giombini, who also serves as Director of the Image Department at France's renowned film school La Fémis, 'Making an Imax film about the Patrouille de France means capturing excellence on a scale never seen before. It creates a total visual and sound immersion, and an unprecedented sensory experience.'
Imago Production's Isabelle Dagnac said, 'We are particularly proud to produce this film, the first French documentary ever produced for Imax, which offers a unique and breathtaking opportunity to fly with the elite of the best pilots.'

'The campaign spotlights collegiate women from the nation's first Black Greek-letter sorority for college women, styled in bold, expressive looks that reflect both tradition and individuality,' it says. 'More than a product spotlight, Sisterhood in Style reflects UA's broader commitment to innovation and community, empowering the next generation to show up boldly, break boundaries, and define their own style codes,' the news release says. The UA Echo sneaker, now in a pink and green colorway, is on sale online for $150. This isn't Under Armour's only collaboration with local schools.
