December 12, 2023 marks the centenary of the death of Gustave Eiffel, renowned engineer and emblematic figure of French architecture. To pay tribute to this illustrious figure, theGustave Eiffel University , in collaboration with the Centre National du Cinéma et de l'Image Animée (CNC) and its partners, is organizing a unique and unusual film evening, retracing the life and work of Gustave Eiffel.
The evening is the brainchild of Carole Aurouet, a lecturer in film and audiovisual studies at Gustave Eiffel University. She has imagined a cinematic show that will offer audiences screenings of rare films linked to Gustave Eiffel.
The choice of a film format to celebrate the Gustave Eiffel centenary invites visitors to discover or rediscover the life of Gustave Eiffel through the prism of period cinema. This unique approach gives viewers a different, more intimate perspective on the engineer's life, as well as immersing them in the cinematic atmosphere of the turn of the last century.
More than just a tribute, this Gustave Eiffel Centenary Movie Night is a rare opportunity to discover previously unseen films relating to Gustave Eiffel. Each screening will be accompanied by a musical backdrop for a complete immersive experience.
The Gustave Eiffel Centenary Movie Night will take place from 7 pm to 10 pm at the Université Gustave Eiffel, Campus Marne-la-Vallée. Admission is free, the only conditions being that you make a reservation before December 11, 2023, and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this distant era. The evening will be followed by a cocktail reception, allowing spectators to discuss this tribute to Gustave Eiffel.
