2009 Maison du doc and Video Library Maison du doc and Video Library
La Maison du doc
Since 1994, the Ardèche Images Resource Center has maintained a database on French-language European documentaries. The database (www.lussasdoc.com/lamaisondudoc), can be used to obtain general information, information on a specific subject, to establish filmographies. The database is currently a repository for 20,000 films.
The aim of La Maison du doc is to be a living memory and repository for films. This is how the co-operative video library of the Club du Doc was created, accessible on the premises or from a distance to professionals who are members for having registered a film, as well as to other groups of people working on/with films (researchers, critics, historians, film and TV journalists, teachers of and students in cinema), and to the local population, for a membership fee in the association.
La Maison du doc also promotes the creation of alliances; it is a place where people can come to discover documentary films.
