Triumph Films was an independent film studio division of Sony Pictures Entertainment from the 1990s to 2000s (with a one-off revival in 2014), although their origins dates back to the early 1980s as a joint-venture between Columbia Pictures (USA) and Gaumont (France). Triumph Films distributed foreign films in the USA for most of their first incarnation (1982-85), and after a few years of success, Triumph changed their focus to applying English subtitles to foreign-language films, which dissatisfied Gaumont and subsequently left the joint venture, which was later folded into Columbia Pictures. Two years later, Columbia saw potential in reviving the Triumph name, and they were reincorporated in March 1988 to focus on independent, low-budget, and direct-to-video film releases; the first film they distributed was "Triumph of the Spirit" in December 1989. Triumph Films distributed many films from Epic Productions and Vision International in the early 1990s (along with Epic's predecessors Trans World Entertainment and Empire International), and during that time, Triumph became a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment in 1991, which led to an update of their on-screen logo with a fanfare and "Columbia Pictures Entertainment" byline removed. Their last logo introduced the "Sony Pictures Entertainment" byline in the film "Nina Takes a Lover", although this appeared a few years earlier in a TV trailer for "Homicide"; this logo was used from 1995-98 and 2003-08, and the latter period saw six films produced/distributed by Triumph, one of which was "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2" from 2004.
