Chronicles of the 29th century is a “Filmographic Object” - reading, writing, art
plastic, cinema, graphics, sound, animation, editing - taking source in a
work of literature from the end of the 19th century: The day of an American journalist in
2889 by Jules Verne.
Based on the story imagined by the “Vernes”, we offered the children a
“filmographic” adaptation of the short story. By drawing inspiration from inventive cinema and
hybrid of Michel Gondry or Georges Méliès, both handymen of the times
modern, we have created a hybrid object between cinema and animation by highlighting
image and sound a futuristic, dreamlike and poetic universe which will be cut out on a
hero's day, Francis Bennett, director of the Earth Herald newspaper.
We offered the class a screening of some short films and extracts:
- The life of Jules Verne…Film 25 Production
- Journey through the impossible - Méliès - 1904
- Gulliver's Journey to Lilliput and the Giants - Méliès -1902
- Junior and his golden voice - Michel Gondry - 1987
- My New New York Diary - Michel Gondry - 2008
Each child participated in the different stages of creation. As for the residence
U-Topos, we advance in groups, which allows each child to turn one
workshop to another during the same session.

U-TOPOS
U-TOPOS is an rartistic residency intended for cycle 3.
It is a “multimedia” project - (reading, writing, drawing, graphics, sound, animation, video editing) taking its source from 4 major works of children's literature.
Based on the discovery of these imaginary stories, we will invite children to bring together their main protagonists in an imaginary country through a story that they will have to create.
Our heroes and places of nowhere...
Alice in Wonderland
by Lewis Carroll, 1865 -
England
Pinocchio
by Carlo Collodi, 1881 -
Italy
Peter Pan
by James Matthew Barrie, 1911 – Scotland
Pippi Longstocking
by Astrid Lindgren, 1945 - Sweden
The marvelous is a way of being in the world. The dreamlike journeys of these four characters dissolve customary connections, habits, ways of inscribing into customs and habitus everything that seems self-evident to us. This detour through the marvelous allows us to explain what we are.
“But then,” said Alice, “if the world has absolutely no meaning,
Who is stopping us from inventing one?”
