PORTEURS D'HISTOIRE(S)/(HI)STORYTELLERS
À la découverte de l'histoire et de l'Australie.../Discovering history and Australia...
Musique/Soundtrack : Tundra Vole
Mixage son/Soundmix :
Situé dans la Somme, Vignacourt, a été un village d'arrière-front épargné par les combats en 14-18. Un hôpital y est installé, accueillant blessés mais aussi soldats du monde entier venus se battre aux côtés des Alliés. Parmi eux, plusieurs milliers d'Australiens. Louis et Antoinette Thuillier, un couple de fermiers férus de technologies modernes, en profitent pour les prendre en photo dans des poses très informelles. Ces clichés auraient pu tomber dans l'oubli mais 100 ans plus tard, un groupe de jeunes ados de Vignacourt, est chargé de les mettre en valeur en les exposant et en apprenant l'histoire des soldats pour pouvoir les présenter au public.
Après avoir passé une année à étudier l'histoire et la culture australienne, les jeunes picards entreprennent de partir en Australie en novembre 2013 à la rencontre des familles de ces soldats à qui ils doivent la liberté de la France, acquise au prix du sang de la jeunesse australienne sacrifiée un siècle auparavant. Deux pays, deux époques, deux jeunesses que l'Histoire pourrait oublier mais qu'une collection de photos permet de relier.

Located in the Somme, Vignacourt was a village behind the frontlines untouched by the fighting in 1914-1918. A hospital was installed, and the villagers welcomed wounded soldiers from around the world. They had come to fight alongside the Allies. Among them, many thousands of Australians. Louis and Antoinette Thuillier, a farming couple keen on modern technology saw an opportunity. They took postcard portraits of the soldiers in informal settings and relaxed poses.
These images might well have been forgotten, but for the recent discovery of the glass negatives. In 2011, a group of Vignacourt teenagers took responsibility for an important project to present the Thuillier Collection to the public. Nearly 100 years after the portraits were made, the Vignacourt youth were inspired to dedicate space in their activity centre, which was renamed Maison des Australiens, to showcase the portraits. They have also researched and learnt the history of the war and the personal stories of those soldiers who have been identified. They now conduct guided tours of the photographic exhibition in Vignacourt.
After spending a year studying Australian history and culture , the young people from Picardy will embark on the next phase of their long term project. In November 2013 they will travel to Australia to meet some of the families of the soldiers who played a part in winning freedom for France. A freedom gained at the price of blood a century ago, with many Australian youths sacrificed.
Two countries, two time periods, two companies of youths, connected by two photographers and their inspiring collection of images.
This century's Vignacourt youth keeping alive last century's Australian soldiers' stories and their role in making history.
