Samedi Cinéma: Mary Anning Film Screening

This family-friendly screening presents the animated film "Mary Anning" by Marcel Barelli, telling the story of a young girl who becomes a pioneer of paleontology. In 1811, 12-year-old Mary Anning spends her days searching for fossils, a passion passed down by her father. After his disappearance, she must unravel the mystery of a drawing while supporting her family, discovering friendship, adventure, and the beginnings of paleontology along the way.

The event is part of the "Automne de la science" and "Biblis en folie 2026" programs in Paris libraries. Held at the Médiathèque Marguerite Yourcenar, the screening takes place in the auditorium and is suitable for children aged 7 and up. It's a wonderful opportunity for young audiences to learn about a remarkable historical figure through animation.
