Archive Images: “Memories of the Forgotten Alps”

These rare images immerse us in a century of Alpine memory, from the 1900s to the dawn of modern skiing. From Savoy villages swallowed up by dams, mines perched on the plateaus, clothing traditions to popular festivals, from women at the wheel to white coal workers... These striking archives recount the harsh and beautiful lives of mountain dwellers, between labor, transmission, faith, war, and nascent leisure activities. Carried by a sensitive narration, the documentary brings to life the gestures, voices, and gazes of those whose filmed history becomes our collective memory. A human and poetic fresco of the forgotten Alps.
