This theme in particular enabled all participants to reflect on what cultural heritage represents and thus to consider solutions for preserving it.The competition revealed some very beautiful perspectives from young people on Monegasque heritage.The public is invited to discover this free exhibition.

The Cabinet of Curiosities of the Audiovisual Institute details the production of "The Wedding of Monaco" by Jean Masson, the work of professional media (television, newsreels, photographers) and the perspective of amateur filmmakers present.

Après une découverte de la lanterne magique, de son invention et des spectacles qu'elle offrait grâce à des plaques de verre peintes à la main, les stagiaires s'initieront aux secrets de leur fabrication. Ils imagineront ensuite leurs propres histoires, qu'ils illustreront sur des plaques transparentes avant de leur donner vie lors d'une projection accompagnée de leurs récits « bonimentés ».
