1924's Cinema Projector "Pathé Baby" - Restoration

Video Description

Hi everyone ! This is a rare movie projector produced by the company Continsouza around 1924. Those projectors were very popular in Europe, mostly in France and England. I was surprised and really excited to find a Charlie Chaplin film in the pack ! In October 1922, Pathé launched a projector for home use. Designed for easy handling and family use, Pathé-Baby was the first in a range that introduced people "home cinema". It launched a new format with reduced production costs, 9.5mm, the development of which was inseparable from that of the projector. A catalogue of films was published, taken from the Pathé catalogue and those of many other producers. The films could be rented or sold, in a new version reedited especially for that format. The Pathé-Baby camera was marketed starting in July 1923. Using reversal film, it extended the practice of photography because it allowed individuals to immortalize their loved ones, their holidays, and the major events in their lives, and even to try their hand at fiction. Amateur filmmakers could operate it with a wide range of accessories and have their films developed at the factory. A sign of success, the use of the Pathé-Baby went beyond the home and into associations and meeting places such as schools, community centers, and amateur clubs. Through a range of cameras, accessories, and popularization tools, a real 9.5mm community was created that went beyond French borders. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the 9.5mm market was dominated by Pathé, which tried to maintain its leadership in an increasingly competitive market, countered by camera and film manufacturers, including Kodak, which launched 16mm in 1923 and 8mm in 1932. Nevertheless, it was so successful that for more than 60 years the popularity of "9.5" exceeded that of the Pathé-Baby. It even became an emblem to be defended against the multiplicity of formats and manufacturers' brands after the Second World War.
