Fabrizio, it seems that it's a CVS but I cannot say much about it. There was a collector who came to sell all his super 8 collection but he took the decision recently and it was the first time he attended a convention so the prices he asked were too high (for example, 500 euros for Siegfried). At the end of the second day, I told him that he probably didn't really want to sell his films, hence the prices and he said that when he put them out of the shelves at his home that made him something so I suggested him to make a projection the same night ;-) La bande des Cinés, the famous shop in Paris was, as usual there and prices are often lower than usual. A seller had piles of 16 mm films. On different other tables there were also films (of each gauges, including 17.5 and 9.5 of course). Not as many films as 20 years ago but still enough to be happy with.
The Ciné Club 9,5 de France was located just at the entrance so it was the first sight for the visitors.
Most of our UK members will recongnize the two British gentlemen (who sell material at cine conventions like The Big Screenn revival, Harpenden...). Patrick is showing to Madame Latrasse a project of 9.5 films catalogue. No doubt, it will be talked about it later in the 9.5 world.
This projector was not for sale. It was used to make some 9.5 projections.
