== History ==
=== Foundation ===
[[File:Cinesite London Medius Foyer.jpg|thumb|Cinesite in London, the foyer at Medius House, March 2015]]
Cinesite opened its doors in [[Los Angeles]] in 1991 to help with the digital restoration of ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=About - Cinesite Studios |url=https://www.cinesite.com/about/ |access-date=March 1, 2022 |archive-date=1 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220301160311/https://www.cinesite.com/about/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The restoration was released in 1993, and Cinesite opened a division in London in 1994. There, it originally operated as a service bureau for [[Kodak]]'s [[Cineon]] digital film system. Both locations subsequently evolved to become full service visual effects facilities. In 2003, Kodak merged the Cinesite Hollywood office into [[LaserPacific]].

In May 2012, Kodak sold Cinesite to a UK-based private investor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/kodak-sells-cinesite/5041718.article|title=Kodak sells Cinesite|last=2012-05-11T17:36:00+01:00|website=Broadcast|language=en|access-date=2020-01-28|archive-date=28 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200128182415/https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/kodak-sells-cinesite/5041718.article|url-status=live}}</ref> Current ownership is a combination of its existing management team supported by private investment.

=== International growth ===
After Cinesite became independent from Kodak in 2012, it began a sustained period of international growth.

In January 2014, with the support of [[Investissement Québec]], Cinesite announced its opening of 27,000 sq ft studios in Montréal and a feature animation division at that location.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Visual effects company Cinesite to open offices in Montreal|url = https://globalnews.ca/news/1093851/cinesite-to-open-an-office-in-montreal/|accessdate = 17 July 2019|first = Amanda|last = Kelly|archive-date = 17 July 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190717151201/https://globalnews.ca/news/1093851/cinesite-to-open-an-office-in-montreal/|url-status = live}}</ref> Its initial employment target was reached 18 months early, in August 2015.<ref>{{Cite news|title = Cinesite choisit encore Montréal|url = https://www.lapresse.ca/affaires/economie/quebec/201602/08/01-4948361-cinesite-choisit-encore-montreal.php|accessdate = 18 July 2019|first = Jean-François|last = Codère|newspaper = La Presse|date = 8 February 2016|archive-date = 18 July 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190718102302/https://www.lapresse.ca/affaires/economie/quebec/201602/08/01-4948361-cinesite-choisit-encore-montreal.php|url-status = live}}</ref>
