On the theme of Mechanical Music and Image.

Once again this year , the Village streets will resound with the sounds of barrel organs. With shows, concerts, exhibitions and events, the festival retraces the high points of changes in image and sound: barrel organs with their magic lanterns, living pictures, phonographs, mechanical musical instruments accompanying silent fi lms and then used in talking films.
An original way of discovering Mechanical Music!!!
