Tim Burton, the exhibition From March 7 2012 to August 5 2012 at Cinémathèque française.
Following the MoMA in New York, where the exhibition was a resounding success, Tim Burton has chosen the Cinematheque to unveil his work to the European public!
Better known as a filmmaker, Tim Burton, the gentle Hollywood troublemaker who shook up conventions (particularly with Batman), supplied contemporary mainstream
cinema with a welcome breath of fresh air. Less well known is his work as an illustrator and photographer, heir to Edgar Allan Poe, the Surrealists, and constantly
reinterpreting popular culture (including the small masterpiece that is The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy, and fantasy such as The Nightmare Before Christmas).
Drawings, paintings, storyboards, models, costumes, film clips ... this exhibition is a unique opportunity to appreciate the extent of his artistic output. Visitors
can discover the originality of his early work produced when he was a teenager in suburban Los Angeles, and later as a student at the prestigious school of CalArts
created by Disney. There's behind the scenes footage of all his films, and films in super 8 or 16mm, early works digitised for the occasion.

Titanic, a 100 years on, From Thursday, April 12 to Wednesday, August 29 2012 at Museum of Letters and Manuscripts
To mark the centenary of the Titanic's sinking, the Museum of Letters and Manuscripts in Paris presents a score of documents and manuscripts, notably those of
Helen Churchill Candee, who inspired James Cameron for the character of Rose in the eponymous film.
On the night of April 14th to 15th, 1912, the Titanic foundered off Newfoundland, five days after embarking on its maiden voyage between Southampton and New York.
The disaster resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 passengers and crew. Among the 700 survivors was an American novelist, Helen Churchill Candee (1858-1949),
immortalised by Kate Winslet as Rose in the famous film by James Cameron. She recounted the journey and the terrible wreck in a 36-page notebook manuscript, now in
the Museum of Letters and Manuscripts in Paris.
