Les Cinglés du Cinéma, the yearly fair in Argenteuil (very close to Paris, a few minutes by train) will be held on Friday 25th January (entrance €5) and Saturday 26th January (entrance free).

I don't know, Antoine. Jean-Pierre Mocky came also this year to visit the fair (as Agnes Varda did, but she refused to be pictured by me) ; I thought he would stay at a table like the other years but he didn't so no picture.

Shorty, 99% of thr films are in French at Argenteuil but I will keep my eyes wide open in London (there will be the Spring Fair and the Big Time Screen within a few months).

I've just received by e-mail some French articles about the fair. It seems that regarding the movie posters, it's the second in the world. Most of us are mostly interested in films and material but if the posters fans can help keeping this event...

Looks like a great event, with an impressive selection of Super 8 and 16mm projectors. If the posters are also a draw, that's a lot more interesting than stalls covered in DVDs, and there might even be an occasional memorabilia collector who can't resist branching out into collecting films.
