Arthur Cohn (born February 4, 1927, in Basel, Switzerland) is a film producer
Cohn was born to a Jewish family,[2] the son of Marcus Cohn, a lawyer and leader of the Swiss religious Zionist movement who moved to Israel in 1949 where he helped to write many of the basic laws of the new state and served as Israel’s assistant attorney-general. Cohn's grandfather, Arthur Cohn, was the chief rabbi of Basel.
Six of his films have won the Academy Award.[4] He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1992, the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture in 1995, the Humanitarian Award by the National Board of Review in 2001, the Guardian of Zion Award in 2004 as well as the UNESCO Award in 2005. He is a multiple honorary degree recipient from Boston University (1998), Yeshiva University (2001) and the University of Basel (2006). For decades he worked with Lilian Birnbaum (Paris) and Pierre Rothschild (Zurich).
His best-known fictional film is The Garden of the Finzi-Continis (1970, directed by Vittorio De Sica). He also produced films by Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September) and Walter Salles (Central Station, Behind the Sun).
