The project is based on archive footage shot in 1948 by Nathan Exelrod. The editing suggests the analogy between kids in a summer camp and the production line of oranges shipment; both the kids and the oranges were the products of the newborn country-Israel. The soundtrack is based on the songs of the Israeli pioneers, which were the greatest hits of 1948 - the year Israel was constituted and acknowledged by the world. The songs were chosen for their heroic pathos, which is the legacy the pioneers tried (and till recently succeeded) to raise the Israeli children upon. Today these songs serve as a soundtrack for the memorial days and their echo still bring pathos in every Israeli soul. These songs were then layered into a dark drone in order to capture only their basic essence, revealing that feeling of sad heroism while bringing up sounds from the past.

Collectif Jeune Cinéma

The Collectif Jeune Cinéma (Young Cinema Collective) is a filmmakers’ cooperative founded in Paris on June 12th 1971.

The vocation of the CJC is to distribute different and experimental films of all lengths, gathered in a catalogue that is continuously enriched by new works. This catalogue covers a very wide spectrum of aesthetics and cinematographic practices. For example, it is the only one to include experimental films made by children and young flimmakers (under 18 yo).

See distribution details here.

The CJC is also an archive for films and documents on experimental and different cinema.

The MNEME catalogue management tool you are currently browsing has been designed to provide maximum clarity and readability for both distribution and the archive. It meets international audiovisual item indexing standards (FIAF).

Each year, the CJC organizes the Festival des Cinémas Différents et Expérimentaux de Paris (a festival featuring different and experimental cinema in Paris) and schedules regular screenings each month in Paris or Île-de-France.
