Presentation

Looking for a cultural getaway full of surprises in Martigues? Follow the guide—or rather, Sylvie Morata, the fascinating director of the Gnidzaz Cinematheque—for a guided tour full of discoveries!

She takes you behind the scenes of cinema, from the very first silent films to today's technical feats. With humor, anecdotes, and a love of the seventh art, Sylvie brings an entire era to life.

In the unusual setting of a magnificently renovated 17th-century chapel, be amazed by a unique collection, that of collector Prosper Gnidzaz. Nearly 80 projection devices, some dating back to 1880, and more than 2,000 film reels await you. It's a true journey through time, where children discover with wonder objects from another century, and adults relive their childhood.

And that's not all! An exhibition of antique cinema objects immerses you in the evolution of techniques and uses: magic lanterns, old cameras, hand-cranked projectors... A fun way to learn while you're at it!

La guinda del pastel: la visita termina con una entrevista a Claire Maurier, actriz de la película de culto «La Cuisine au beurre», rodada en Martigues en 1963 con Bourvil y Fernandel. Una experiencia cinematográfica tierna y deliciosa para compartir con toda la familia.

Also not to be missed: the exhibition "Martigues, Land of Cinema," from June 30 to October 31, 2025, at the Tourist Office. An even more immersive dive into the love story between the city and the big screen!

Practical information: The Gnidzaz Cinematheque opens its doors for a fun, informative, and touching journey—ideal for young and old alike. Plan an hour, a bit of curiosity, and a desire to dream a little.

Ready for adventure? Power up... and action!
