Paris seen by Hollywood - Exhibition catalogue

Exhibition catalogue "Paris by Hollywood" at the Hotel de Ville, Paris (September, 18 - December, 15, 2012).

In the 1950s, American directors finally began shooting films in Paris, which became a playground for many of them (Blake Edwards, Stanley Donen, Alfred Hitchcock…). During the 1980s, Paris became the place for big budget action and detective films.

The expo includes: sets from John Huston’s “Moulin Rouge” and Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris”, dresses designed for Audrey Hepburn by Hubert de Givenchy, monumental statues created by the designer Dante Ferreti for Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo”. About twenty screens will display nearly 70 film excerpts, from Edison’s first films to Woody Allen’s films, as well as reports on the shoots of Stanley Donen’s “Funny Face”, Alfred Hitchcock’s films, etc.
