This outing was organized in two parts:

After that, a screening was organized to discover the first movies made by the Lumière brothers: out of the factory, L’Arroseur arrosé, Le Repas de bébé, L’Arrivée d’un train en gare de La Ciotat…
The screening ended up with some short movies on burlesque comedy to get students to discover the legendary Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton or Laurel and Hardy.
