BALMA
The Toulouse Cinémathèque’s Conservation and Research Centre, located in Balma and opened in 2004, houses all of the institution’s film and non-film collections.
This weekend, it’s opening its doors to the public!
It houses over 50,000 catalogued film prints, as well as an impressive non-film collection: around 100,000 posters, over 600,000 photographs, press books, film cameras, and numerous original documents tracing the history of cinema.
On site, a team of around ten professionals works to conserve, preserve and restore this unique cinematic heritage, using specialised technical equipment.
A rare and valuable opportunity to go behind the scenes at the Toulouse Cinémathèque and get a closer look at the treasures it keeps hidden from view.
