Les Cinglés du cinéma

[Dominique De Bast]

As each year, the big French film fair will be held in Argenteuil (close to Paris, 15 minutes by train). It will happen on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 January. This year, the theme is Japanese movie.

Some views from last year : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6kBEqpNMyk (the theme in 2019 was the special effects)

Be aware that on Friday 24 th January, there will be a hard transport strike in France (usually mainly in Paris and around) so if you intend to travel by public transportation on that day, check the situation (www.ratp.fr)

It will open tomorrow. Today was the set up day for the sellers (but many will come only tomorrow morning).

Looks like a great event Dominique! Interesting they let the public in. I wondered what their first thoughts are seeing all the old film boxes and equipment? Very different from today's media. The make-up special effects were very impressive. The guy with the hole in his head looked so real.

Children love to see working projectors, Janice 😀

Shorty, the projections were made by several sellers on their stands. There is nothing such a projected films lists.
