%X : The moving image has traditionally provided a catalyst for screen-based culture to develop a language that evokes a means and experience of storytelling positioned in-between the image and the viewer.  However, this article will frame such a relationship by distancing the moving image from a cinematic or industrial context to instead look to the amateur cohort of private films commonly referred to as ¡®home movies¡¯, In doing so, I will consider what Bachelard refers to as a returning to childhood in search of memory, to form a reasoned understanding of the ways in which memory itself can be grafted in-between film and experience. This article will focus on celluloid film which I will define as vintage home movies, namely Standard 8mm and Super 8mm film contributed from domestic-orientated archives. The discussion will examine two main video installations evidencing selected work in the wider series.Filmic Memorials (2002-06) comprised of a substantial body of work established from my family collection of 8mm home movies. R¨¦sum¨¦: Dans notre culture de l'¨¦cran, l 'image mobile a souvent servi de catalyseur ¨¤ l'¨¦laboration d'un langage narratif situ¨¦ ¨¤ mi-chemin de l'exp¨¦rience du spectateur et des particularit¨¦s de l'image. Dans cet article, on voudrait revenir sur ce d¨¦but en privil¨¦giant non pas le contexte cin¨¦matographique ou industriel de l'image mobile mais la production de films amateurs ou domestiques que l'on nomme souvent les "home movies". Ce d¨¦placement me permettra de regarder plus en d¨¦tail ce que Bachelard appelle un retour ¨¤ l'enfance dans la qu¨ºte m¨¦morielle et de mieux comprendre la mani¨¨re dont la m¨¦moire elle-m¨ºme se place entre cin¨¦ma et exp¨¦rience. Le corpus de cet article se compose d'un ensemble de films sur pellicule qui rel¨¨vent du genre des "vintage home movies", ¨¤ savoir des films 8 ou super 8 emprunt¨¦s ¨¤ des archives de type familial. Je pr¨¦senterai aussi deux installations vid¨¦o de la s¨¦rie Filmic Memorials (2002-06), l'une et l'autre bas¨¦es sur des documents provenant de ma propre collection familiale.
