Abstract

The museum of the Film Archive comprises a small jewel in the history of Greek cinema. The rare exhibits found here include: a collection of the first movie cameras and projectors as well as a complete range of early equipment and objects used in the production and editing of sound and image. There is also an exhibition of “pre-cinema” projection devices, such as: zoetropes, kinetoscopes, praxinoscopes, magic lanterns and others.The Museum traces its beginnings to 1990 and the ground floor of the Deligiorgi Mansion, where the Greek Film Archive is housed. Here was displayed a collection of exhibits - both graphic and mechanical – which contributed to the birth of the motion picture.
