Guided tours of the exhibition «Pathé-Baby, le cinéma chez soi»
2022 marks the centenary of Cinema chez soi. The Jérôme Seydoux Pathé Foundation celebrates this anniversary by unveiling the secrets of this revolution, the fruit of Charles Pathé’s idea to market, less than thirty years after the birth of cinema, an elegant and simplistic projector using an original film, the 9.5 mm. Now, the individual can see the stars of the big screen coming alive in the privacy of his living room: from Max Linder to Charlot. The films in the individual’s catalogue, which quickly reach thousands of titles, were shortened versions of the original films. A true reflection of international film production, all genres are represented. The exhibition traces this history through the projectors and cameras dedicated to this new format, as well as all the accessories allowing the budding filmmaker to equip himself as a professional.
