New Archival Tool: "La mémoire du réel"


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.
