Project
A film enthusiast, Amandine Martins designed a traveling screening room.
She wanted to return to the genesis of cinema, which was shown at fairs and funfairs. Screenings, round tables, debates, lectures, workshops for young and old; so many opportunities to meet the public and create a convivial atmosphere while crisscrossing the region.
Thanks to Caméo, traveling cinema is made possible by a truck (the Citroën Type H!) that fills up every year. Based on the principle of a tour, Caméo offers its film screenings in a series, each prepared around an exclusive theme for each stop.
Art-house or popular cinema, famous or lesser-known films, round tables, interactive activities (try experimental immersion in participatory workshops!) are offered throughout the tour.
Caméo blows the roof off with its all-terrain screenings. A true French symbol, it travels through the eras and defends its freshness; from its pot escape scents of the past and the future, like a whiff of Paradiso…
The 1st edition of Caméo was held on August 28, 2015 in Brussels, in the Tour&Taxis district, on a former railway site along the canal near the historic center. This 1st edition wanted to showcase this industrial heritage redeveloped into a park and inaugurated in 2014.
