and organize an exhibition about the Renoir Family…

Built by Frank Gehry (Guggenheim museum of new York and Bilbao architect), The building is located in the Bercy aera near the National Library.

Cinémathèque Française hosts the largest archive of films, movie documents, and film-related objects in the world. Located in Paris, the Cinémathèque holds screenings daily of a variety of films from all over the world.
The collection’s origin stems from the intensive efforts of Henri Langlois in the 1930s to collect and preserve old films. Langlois had acquired one of the largest collections in the world by the commencement of World War Two, only to have it nearly wiped out by the German authorities in occupied France, who ordered all films made prior to 1937 be destroyed. He and his friends smuggled huge numbers of documents and films to unoccupied France to protect them until the end of the war.

The Musée d’Orsay is celebrating the reopening of the Cinémathèque française with Renoir/Renoir:

an exhibition dedicated to the Renoir family with particular focus on the painter, Pierre-Auguste, and his filmmaker son, Jean.
The show brings together paintings, including the masterpiece Bal du Moulin de la Galette, exerpts from films, and as yet unpublished documents of the time. It is organised into five sections: self-portraits, family portraits, models, nature and dance, all themes tackled by both Pierre-Auguste and Jean Renoir.
The exhibition aims to shed a new light on the work of the Renoirs, and on the relationship between Cinema and the Fine Arts in general.
