Between 2010 and 2013 Charles Gillibert was a member of the MK2 management board . In January 2013, he created CG CINEMA, his own film production company internationally oriented and focused on directors development. [2]

In 2013, Gillibert collaborated in the creation of the investment company Cinémaphore with Julie Gayet and François Pinault before being called by Centre National de la Cinématographie to sit at the Commission for reflection on the new French film financing models.

In 2014, CG CINEMA introduced its first production Clouds of Sils Maria by Olivier Assayas selected at the Cannes Film festival, then Eden by Mia Hansen-Løve selected at the Toronto International Film Festival [3] and the company co-produced Desierto by Jonás Cuarón with Alfonso Cuarón.
