After more than 30 years of consulting and visiting film and photographic archives in approximately 20 countries for his documentary films, award-winning producer-director Serge Viallet has decided to share his contacts at some 80 archival centres in a series of special publications, “La mémoire du réel”, through French authors’ rights society, La Scam.
According to Viallet, in order to protect the “treasure of memory”, one must use it, question it, enrich it and share it. In 2015, Viallet carefully analyzed our archival footage shot by Sydney Chaplin during the filming of The Great Dictator in an episode of Mystères d’archives, a series of documentary shorts focusing on various important historical events captured on film.
The Chaplin Office is delighted to be in the first edition of Vilallet’s list of noteworthy archival institutions in “La mémoire du réel” which can be consulted on La Scam’s website.

It is with deepest regret that we share news of the passing of Josephine Hannah Gardin-Chaplin, daughter of Charlie Chaplin and Oona O’Neill, on Thursday, July 13, 2023. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her beloved family and friends.
For years, Josephine managed the Chaplin Office in Paris on behalf of her siblings until she took leave to care for her husband Jean-Claude Gardin.
She appeared in a number of films, including Pier Paolo Pasolini’s THE CANTERBURY TALES, and her father’s LIMELIGHT and A COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG.
Our deepest condolences are with her family.
