About Bernard Natan

  • Bernard Natan (born Natan Tannenzaft; July 14, 1886 – October 1942) was a Franco-Romanian film entrepreneur, director and actor of the 1920s and 1930s.
  • He was once said by historians to be one of the earliest (if not the earliest) pornographic film directors and porn stars, although there is now considerable doubt about this.
  • Natan certainly worked in mainstream cinema from his youngest days, working his way up from projectionist and chemist to cinematographer and producer.
  • He eventually acquired the giant French motion picture studio Pathé in 1929.
  • Pathé collapsed in 1935, and Natan was convicted of fraud.
  • However, he laid the foundation for the modern film industry in France and helped revolutionize film technology around the world.
  • Natan died after being transported to Auschwitz concentration camp.
