The Marcel Pagnol endowment fund
Financing the restoration
Why a Marcel Pagnol endowment fund?
The purpose of the Marcel Pagnol Endowment Fund a pour objet la restauration des 24 films de son catalogue cinématographique ainsi que l’entretien du fond muséal comprenant entre autre des caméras, objectifs, manuscrits et œuvres d’art ayant appartenu à Marcel Pagnol.
He also aims at reconstructing the sets of his films in natural settings in the hills of Aubagne and Marseille and at launching the creation of a large museum entirely dedicated to Marcel Pagnol.
In 2010, the Marcel Pagnol Endowment Fund launched a campaign to restore the Marcel Pagnol catalog. 12 films have already benefited from a 4K restoration.
Passing on a legacy
Transmettre l’héritage de Marcel Pagnol aux générations futures
A large part of the museum's collection is completely unpublished and requires heavy maintenance work, while the films need to be restored to guarantee their conservation for the future.
The Marcel Pagnol Endowment Fund was created at the initiative of Jacqueline Pagnol, Marcel Pagnol's widow who played Manon des Sources in the cinema, and by Frédéric Pagnol, Marcel and Jacqueline Pagnol's son.
Advantage
Tax exemption for private and corporate donors
The legal structure of the Endowment Fund makes it possible to offer a tax exemption of 66% to private donors and 60% to companies.
We hope that you will be sensitive to our patrimonial approach and that, like us, you consider that this immense work and the universal themes of humanism and mutual aid that it conveys must be transmitted to future generations.
