Within the network “Mémoire filmique d'Ile-de-France”, several structures keep in their archives family films shot in Pathé-Baby format. In the 1920s, amateurs seized this new Pathé camera to film their daily lives. After the war, in amateur film clubs, which were very successful at the time, it was the most forbidden format. The Pathé-Baby had its enthusiasts! “Mémoire filmique d'Ile-de-France” invites you to discover the amateur filmmaking practice born from the Pathé camera through four portraits of filmmakers: Louis Estevez, Albert Méry Camus, Jean Dewolf and Edouard Maxant. These family films are unique accounts of the evolution of our lifestyles, the transformation of our cities.
