On the Film Sets: Paris-Berlin-Hollywood, 1910–1939
March 10–August 1, 2010 at
Cinémathèque française
, Paris
Discover the legendary universe of the studios and the film sets when movie production was still the work of artisans. Paris, Berlin, and Hollywood were the three major capitals for cinema and it wasn't unusual to have filmmakers travel from one country to the other to shoot, or even to emigrate. Fritz Lang, Billy Wilder, Ernst Lubitsch, Robert Siodmak, and more made that choice, sometimes stopping in Paris before going to Hollywood. From silent films to the talkies, these photographs show us the magic of filmmaking in process and what happens behind the screen. The technology evolved but the mystery of the film sets remained intact.
