These works make accounts, testimonies and historical sources accessible to a wide audience. They bring to light individual journeys and events that are sometimes little known, while helping to renew the ways this history is passed on to younger generations.

SNCF thus supports documentary films, audiovisual productions and exhibition projects, led by cultural institutions, associations or teams of researchers and creators. These initiatives help to preserve and pass on a many-sided history, drawing on archives, testimonies and scholarly work.

Through these projects, memory moves beyond heritage sites alone to reach cinema screens, exhibition spaces and new media, raising awareness of this history among as many people as possible and keeping the work of memory alive.
