The Journey to the Moon / Le Voyage vers la Lune - 2018

From the outside, this abandoned shed seems visited only by street artists. But behind the rust, the broken tiles and the graffiti, sleeps the studio of cinéma of George Méliès, the very first one in France. If you explore more closely this « Egyptian tomb », one can discover, buried under the cobwebs and the dust, the History of Cinema. There are cameras, movie reels, masks, costumes from all ages. Tarkowski, Scorsese, Kurozawa, Bresson, Visconti, Wenders, Mallick, Pollack, Godard, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Leone, Spielberg, Truffaut, Bergman, Scorsese, Coppola, Chaplin, Fellini, Lang are all there.

De loin, ce hangar abandonné, ne semble plus visité que par quelques graffeurs. Derrière la rouille, les carreaux brisés et les graffitis, sommeil pourtant le premier studio de cinéma en France, celui de Georges Méliès. En explorant de plus près ce tombeau égyptien, on y découvre, enfouie, l’Histoire du Cinéma. Il y des caméras, des bobines de films, des accessoires de tournage de toutes les époques. Tarkowski, Scorsese, Kurozawa, Bresson, Visconti, Wenders, Mallick, Pollack, Godard, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Leone, Chaplin, Fellini, Fritz Lang sont là... sous les toiles d’araignées et la poussière.
