This year, the management of the Departmental Archives of Val-d'Oise with the Image and Cinema mission is carrying out an exhibition «Cinoche»: from the fairground cinema to Ecrans VO that opens for the European Heritage Days. Students will discover the beginnings of the seventh art in the Val-d'Oise. By going through the creation of the first cinemas but also the golden age of the cinemas of neighborhoods in the years 1950-1960, they will discover their evolution in the territory. Period objects and archives will complete the panels of this exhibition. After a guided tour accompanied by a game booklet, we propose to students to make a thaumatropic. This object used at the beginnings of the seventh art allowed to create animated images thanks to an optical illusion.
Attention: The presence of supervisors is imperative and their involvement is necessary. When booking, indicate if there are students with disabilities. Children should be reminded of certain rules before they come to the Departmental Archives to protect the collections: do not touch objects (unless the mediator invites them), behave well, do not use any material other than that recommended by the mediator.
