The film "La merveilleuse journée" will be projected on 13 th May at 2.30 pm at La salle de spectacle des Abondances 47-49 rue saint-Denis at Boulogne (very close to Paris, the Parigian metro goes to Boulogne. Usually amateur films (in 9,5 of course) are projected before the film.

Exceptionnaly, the first part of the monthly projection (the last of the season, the next one will be on 21st October) will be a tribute to Shirley Temple instead of amateur films. Two shorts will be projected : Shirley Temple chercheuse d'or and Shirley Temple moucharde (What To Do ?) The main film is a French one Cendrillon de Paris (1930). It one of the few places where you still can attend a real projection.

The new season of the French club's projections will start tomorrow (two days after the British Annual Get-Together). Isn't that nice ? The main film will be "Les croix de bois" and there will also be a tribute to Charlie Chaplin.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on November 14, 2014, 01:02 PM:

Next Tuesday (18th November), the French film "Pierrot mon ami" (1934) will be screened after two amateur films (one dated 2013, one dated 2014). If you're in Paris...

Only a few days to wait for the next meeting. That will happen on Tuesday 20 th January at, as usual, la salle de spectacle des abondances (47-49 rue Saint-Denis at Boulogne which is reachable with the metro, station Boulogne-Pont de St Cloud). The projection starts (theorically, we're Latins :-) at 2:30 pm. The feature, La veuve et l'innocent (a French film dated 1948)will be preceeded by an amateur film La France miniature (2008). If you miss this, the next projection will be on 17th February and the 1937 feature will be Partir ou mourir (The Edge Of The World).

King Kong will be projected on the 17th November. Two amateur films will be screened before the main film : "Edith Piaf" and "Histoire sans fin". I remind that these projections are held in Paris (in Boulogne to be precise, metro Boulogne-Pont de St Cloud) at 2:30 pm (it usually starts a little bit later that announced).

Eiki xenon 9.5mm? Very impressive! [Wink]

Posted by Terry Sills (Member # 3309) on November 12, 2015, 11:37 AM:

Not only an Eiki xenon 9.5 - but a Slot load. Never seen a 9.5 Slotload before. Very nice.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on November 14, 2015, 04:10 PM:

Due to the situation in Paris, the projection may have to be cancelled. This will be known only on Monday morning as the responsible of the projection room has to be contacted. Nobody knows at this moment how things will evolve in Paris in the following days.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on January 11, 2016, 04:39 PM:

The club decided not to cancell the November projection. There has been also a projection in December (that I forgot to remind here) and there will be one tomorrow. If you're Lucky to be in paris, you will able to see : "La merveilleuse journée".

The projector ready...

No blu rays, here...

Posted by Luigi Castellitto (Member # 3759) on February 28, 2017, 04:48 PM:

Wow!
Near the projector there is a tape recorder? It needs for an audio accompaniment, when the movie is mute?

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on February 28, 2017, 05:15 PM:

Yes, Luigi. The first part of the programme is made of amateur films. Some have a sound strip, some have the sound recorded on a separate tape :-)

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on March 15, 2017, 03:19 PM:

On the 21 st March : the main film will be L'impeccable Henri and there will be two amateur films : La Clara fuente and La sonate du pendu (The Hanged's Sonate).

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on April 12, 2017, 05:44 PM:

Yesterday, The New Adventures Of Tarzan (in French) were screened after an amateur film from Monsieur Castella, the president of the French club. It has been decided to project 16 fps films again so the Buckingham that can project the three speeds (it has three pulleys !) was put out the cupboard (if it this the correct word) to have a check (the 16 fps films projections will (re-)start from the next meeting). It was a good idea to check the projector as it had not been used for a while and needed a little help to run correctly (a capricious belt...)

The Buckingham that will be used.

The three pulleys are visible on the picture. I don't know how rare it is but I had never seen that before. The blades of the shutter are impressively larger than on the other Eiki machines I saw so far.

Monsieur Huard, the projectionnist (he's a real one, that was his job), has a look to check everything. The projector beside is the one used for the 11 th April projection. Both machines are xenon ones. There is a third 9.5 projector (not an Eiki) in the magic cupboard (but more than probably not a xenon). Sadly the May projection will be the last of the season. The Summer break will last until October. The film that will be projected next month (on the 16th May) will be La guerre des valses with some famous actors like Arletty.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on May 14, 2017, 11:36 AM:

As always, there is a 4 pages programme.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on October 18, 2017, 04:13 PM:

As annouced in the programm, the season restarted last Tuesday.

The poster, that comes, as each time, in addition to the programm.

The club's projector ready for another season after its Summer Holiday.

Our happy projectionnist.

In addition to the main film and the two scheduled amateur films, we were lucky to be able to see a film that Monsieur Dupin
(on the picture) processed himself to test his home made 9.5 process tank. It has to be tested more but the results are very promising and with a trial and error method, Monsieur Dupin is confident to be able to get a perfect result. These tests are made in addition to the tests that are made by the professionnal Spanish lab. I aked the question about the legal question. It seems that what is forbidden in France is to process black and white films for professionals but not for amateur (it's a question of quantity...).

Next projection meeting is next month. If you're in Paris...

Le journal tombe à 5 heures will be the feature of the day [Smile]

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on January 15, 2018, 11:30 AM:

If you're in Paris tomorrow (Tuesday), don't forget the monthly projection [Smile]

The feature that will be screened is "Accusée, levez-vous".

Posted by Luigi Castellitto (Member # 3759) on January 18, 2018, 01:24 PM:

Maurice Tourneur! Great film!

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on February 19, 2018, 04:58 AM:

Tomorrow, Graine au vent will be the feature showed.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on May 04, 2018, 03:50 AM:

Sadly, the May projection has been cancelled due to the trains strike in France. Next projections will happen in Limoges during the International 9.5 festival and the season in Paris will restart in October afetr the yearly Summer break.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on October 15, 2018, 08:05 AM:

For the first projection of this new season, after a amateur film ("Briare, le canal", "Mission à Tanger" will be screened. As usual, it will start around 2:30pm.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on November 19, 2018, 02:17 PM:

Don't forget the projection tomorrow if you're in Paris [Smile]

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on December 17, 2018, 01:44 PM:

The December projection is tomorrow 😀

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on February 07, 2019, 12:28 PM:

The projection scheduled on Tuesday 19 th February is cancelled due to an inspection of the electrical system in the building on that day. Bad luck...

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on March 18, 2019, 04:39 AM:

Tomorrow's projection has just been confirmed. If you're in Paris, you know where to go 😉

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on June 23, 2019, 06:18 AM:

Special day at the place the projections are held. The thema was cinema so the 9.5 club was asked to programm a proection although the season normally ends in May.

The Walls were decorated with cinema related pictures or film posters.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on June 23, 2019, 01:57 PM:

Romy Schneider and Jean Gabin.

The picture doesn't show it well but decoration was very well done.

The lady who organized the cinema day.

The last picture : the two projectionnists. Since there were many activities, the projections didn't attract thousands of people but a very good moment was when a group of enthusiast young children enjoyed several films, including silent ones. It's forbidden in France to picture children for promotion purposes without parent's permission so no photo of that moment but we will remember that.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on November 19, 2019, 06:26 PM:

More people than usual for this November projection. The French film Monsieur Taxi (with the famous Michel Simon) was screened. Next month, another French film, La cage aux rossignols (a remake, Les choristes, had a big success some years ago).
