I don't think this article passes WP:NCORP. While the company did produce award-winning films, I haven't found acceptable sources to establish the company's notability independent of those awards. The closest I've found are a handful of articles discussing a lawsuit against producer Ted Field by Central Films that was settled out of court, but I'd argue those should be in Field's article and don't necessarily justify a separate Central Films article. Aside from those, the only mentions of the company in reliable sources are trivial, like film reviews that list it as a production company. I can't even find non-trivial mentions in French sources to establish notability (though I don't speak French, so that could be on me), and there's no record of a French Wikipedia article on this company either (redlink, deletion log search).
