AUDIOVISUAL INTERVIEW COLLECTION
The association “Mémoire Vive / Memória Viva” aims to collect and transmit the memory of Portuguese immigration in a spirit of exchange and openness.
The Mémoire Vive / Memória Viva association has undertaken a campaign to collect audiovisual interviews with witnesses of Portuguese immigration. It will also launch a testimonial collection campaign on its site.

The idea is to make a call for contributions in order to film in his neighborhood, his family, his association, his company. This in order to build a transversal, horizontal and transgenerational memory.
THE SALTO
The film "Le Salto", directed by Christian de Chalonge in 1967 is one of the first films on immigration in France. It is also the first time that Portuguese immigrants are the heroes of a film.
While no DVD copy exists for the moment, the Mémoire Vive / Memória Viva association has undertaken to build a project around the film. For that we try to militate for a safeguard and a conservation of the existing copies and the diffusion of the film on DVD and in theaters. On the other hand, we have started a campaign to collect film archives and interviews that you can find here.
