Óscar Dancigers (Moscow, Russia; 1902 - Mexico City; February 27, 1976) was one of the most prestigious producers of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, enormously famous for having been the producer of the first Mexican films by Luis Buñuel.
Dancigers worked notably in Germany in 1930, then in France, among others for Ciné-Alliance, production company of Gregor Rabinovitch and Arnold Pressburger, which he left in 1940 because of Nazism, narrowly escaping a roundup in front of Edwige Feuillère's home. From then on he mainly worked in Mexico. It was at the instigation of Dancigers and Denise Tual that Luis Buñuel settled in this country during the 1940s.
He is also the first producer of a movie that Orson Welles will never finish, Don Quixote.
Óscar's brother, Georges Dancigers, was also a producer.
