Sonis

For more than 50 years, the French Edition Sonis delivers cinema services, supporting distributors and exhibitors. Today, Sonis is active on 5 poles of competence essential to the promotion of films, mainly Hollywood blockbusters,  before their release in theatres: from digital communication to printing, including events, management, and logistics. Printing includes posters and postcards, and through the decades, the design of the Sonis postcards became more and more an in-between of the old poster design and that of the traditional star postcards. Sonis has two branches, one in the Paris suburbs (Les Ulis) and the other in the Lyon suburbs (Décines).
