Over 100 documentaries and unedited films, including advertising footage and monographs on architects, showed Paris, her quarters, major projects, changing scenes and utopian schemes... 14 themes in 14 reconstituted cinema interiors with free access. An exceptional retrospective that retraced the image of Paris on film from 1938.
A unique selection of films never before presented to the public as a collection. The films were presented in juxtaposition, side-by-side and one-after-another.
As the different sequences ran simultaneously, the exhibition could propose: a meeting with Le Corbusier, a walk along rue Vilin in the footsteps of writer Georges Pérec, Paris seen from the air in 1967, or the construction of the George Pompidou Centre...
Visitors could pick and choose, moving from one scene to another, making it an exhibition that was continually being perceived differently. Sequences were overlapped and edited in the minds of each visitor creating new compositions... unique and personal conceptions of the city.
