Archive of press material compiled by Cinedis, a French press and film agency, concerning the formation and founding members of the Ministere de la Culture (Ministry of Culture) of France. The Ministry of Culture was created by Charles de Gaulle in 1959 and the first Minister was writer Andre Malraux, whose responsibilities included the democratizing of access to culture (museums, monuments), and elevating postwar France. He created several cultural centers throughout France, actively sponsored the arts (television, film, visual, dance, literary, etc.), but his tastes, although wide-ranging, remained conservative. During the early years of the Ministry, M. Jacques Jaujard was its general secretary, and he was instrumental in coordinating various organizations like Arts and Humanities, National Theaters, Monuments, Cinema, Tourist propaganda, popular Education. Jaujard eventually left eh Ministry in 1967, and Malraux left shortly after upon de Gaulle's final term as President. The Ministry is still in operation to this day, keeping the artistic and culture heritage of France and making the countries museums and cultural centers widely accessible. An engrossing collection regarding a much advertised birth of one of France's finest organizations, the archive consists of thirty single sheets of Cinedis parchment with various stapled French newspaper articles pertaining to Malraux, Jaujard and the Ministry. Nearly all sheets bear annotations in manuscript ink noting the date of the article (1959 throughout, mostly early in the year), and a few loose newspapers and clippings are included. Near Fine overall.

Archive of correspondence and film ephemera from representatives at Cinedis and UniFrance Films regarding Christian de la Maziere, briefly the impresario of press relations (and former Waffen-SS soldier) at Cinedis, detailing his participation at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival and at a few Referendum Cinematographique festivals in Vichy. Represented in the archive are 27 leaves, several being checklists detailing in manuscript ink and pencil the names of various film stars and their corresponding hotel stays during the 1959 Cannes festival, notably the Carlton Hotel (several leaves of the hotel's stationery), the Martinez, the Montfleury, and the Majestic. On Cinedis parchment, Maziere is stated as the presenter of Renato Castellanis' women's prison exploitation film, .".and the Wild, Wild Women" ('L'Enfer dans la ville"), and on Francinex parchment (Italian language) as presenting the same film in lieu of Georges Cravenne, a head official at Cinedis. Also included are several carbon typescript leaves of correspondence between A. Bailly, general secretary at the Referendum Cinematographique, and de la Maziere, regarding his participation in the 1957 festival and the showing of Jean Boyer's "Senechal the Magnificent," as well as participation in the 1955 and 1959 festivals. An original program for the 1957 festival, and parking passes for the 1959 festival, are also present. Christian de la Maziere (1922-2006) was a journalist and member of the Charlemagne Division of the Waffen SS, and was featured in Marcel Ophuls 1969 documentary "The Sorrow and the Pity," discussing his role in WWII.
