This paper discusses the modalities of collaboration between the Cinema Department of the University of Lausanne and the Cinémathèque suisse in three fields of activity: academic education, research (developed by researchers in the context of exchanges with archivists) and scientific and cultural mediation (with centralised management). In the autumn of 2009, the two Vaud institutions set a shared goal on the basis of a specific inventory of intensifying their collaboration by encouraging research on the vast collections, and, in that way, valorising them nationally and internationally. Currently seven research projects have already been financed by third-party funds. Two of them are related to the personal archives of French director Claude Autant-Lara; they facilitated the exploitation of the paper archives of the collection. The main goal is to develop a methodology to understand the process of genesis and collective dynamics of screenplay development, and to analyse them from the perspective of star and gender studies. A database was created by the University of Lausanne that is currently being updated by the research team. This article show how such projects allow productive and informal interactions among researchers and archivists.

Keywords: research projects, non-film archives, data base, public dissimination, education in films studies
