Le Chantier invisible : dans les coulisses des films de Jean-Jacques Annaud

Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé

The Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé opens the doors to the film sets of a master of the seventh art through an unprecedented immersion into the backstage of his greatest masterpieces. From La Victoire en chantant to L'Ours, from La Guerre du feu to Le Nom de la rose, from Sept ans au Tibet to Deux frères, the work of Jean-Jacques Annaud spans continents, eras, and imaginations. From his monumental frescoes to his painstakingly precise reconstructions, by way of his extreme technical challenges, the exhibition is a fascinating tribute to this borderless filmmaker, who reveals, for the first time, the other side of his sets and his greatest secrets. Like a Benedictine librarian, Jean-Jacques Annaud has preserved all the documentation that tells the story of 50 years of his work. Complemented by the collections of the Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé, the Cinémathèque française, and private collections, the exhibition will allow visitors to discover these exceptional archives. It will immerse visitors in the meticulous preparations surrounding the making of his films, from documentary research to their release in theaters, including location scouting, preparation, filming, and post-production.
