It is a workshop on oral and visual memory writing, to simultaneously recall the past and project oneself into the future. Based on their experiences, their discoveries, their experiences, the participants work together to develop a common history. The children recounted their dreams for the future, the image of their futur life, of their world at the age of 80; the elders share in response the memories of their 8 years old, of a past that the children could not have lived. The (re)discovery of photographs brought by the participants, the broadcasting of extracts from old films and the making of drawings are at the core of the exchanges. Each according to his or her know-how (painting, drawing, embroidery…) acte on the images by modifying them, redrawing them, tying them together to better appropriate the history of the others.
When the roles are swapped, understood, repeated, visualized, heard and felt, they are staged for the video. The portraits of the participants, the sounds of their voices are knotted together in the making of a collective film. At each session, a chronicler, child or retired person, reported photographically on the meeting.
