Located on the ground floor of La Jetée, in the heart of Clermont-Ferrand, the Resource Center is part of the library network managed by Clermont Auvergne Métropole and welcomes over 5,400 visitors each year.
A unique place in Europe, dedicated to the memory of short films
By naming this place La Jetée, in homage to Chris Marker’s iconic film, Le Court wanted to emphasize the importance it places on film heritage, and in particular on the memory of short cinema.
The association’s activities – discovery, screening, support for creation, and training – carried out through the Festival, the Short Film Market, or the educational hub, rely on and complement a clearly defined heritage mission.
The Resource Center thus brings together over 45 years of archives from the world’s most important short film festival. Every paper or audiovisual document related to short film production is systematically preserved and made available to the public.
La Jetée’s Resource Center is open to the general public of the metropolitan area, as well as students, researchers, and programmers. They can come to consult and view the festival archives, feature films, books, and magazines devoted to cinema, its professions, and its history.
Several regular, free events are organized there throughout the year.
