Every year, the Film and Photography marketplace of Lyon takes over part of the neighborhood, on Rue du Premier-Film, to the delight of moviegoers. Workshops on cinema secrets, a treasure hunt on the trail of the Lumière brothers and a film contest are also planned for this 9th edition. Come check out our new feature this year, an auction on Saturday evening for the first time. But before cracking open the catalog, here is a little selection of items you can buy for under 40 euros.
Photograph of The Deer Hunter, 21 x 30 cm, color
(around 11 euros)
Former laborer Mike is plunged into the horror of the Vietnam War. Robert De Niro lends his talent to play the role of Michael Vronsky in the unforgettable movie, The Deer Hunter by the late Michael Cimino. A film immortalized by photographs, which have also become cult collection items.
View Master 3D
(around 29 euros)
A precursor to VR goggles, a classic household item of the 90s, the 3D view master is a little Proust madeleine to all movie lovers and photography enthusiasts. Click through the photos or films of landscapes before your very eyes and go back in time to your childhood.
Polaroid camera
(around 35 euros)
This is the must-have item for collectors, movie lovers and vintage fans. Of all colors, and sizes, Polaroids will be ubiquitous in the CinéFair. Protect your credit cards and shop around, though - some prices can be stratospheric!
DVD: Donkey Skin
(around 15 euros)
Can't make it to see this classic at the Lumière festival? No worries- the CinéFair gives you the opportunity to own it. The film directed by Jacques Demy with national treasure Catherine Deneuve will be one of the most popular DVDs this weekend!
