Travelogues are films made by travelers. These amateur films document geographies and periods, transmitting history by becoming archival material. The private collection of Atelier du 7e art (Dornecy, France) carries out this work of preserving and safeguarding an often-overlooked amateur heritage, which nevertheless sometimes offers rare footage for example, this film with stunning images shot in Algeria by a French conscript during the time of the war of independence.
