"Before, we had to deal with gymnasts, athletes to holders of some particular relationship to the world. Now, we mainly deal with computers." (Cheng Pei-pei, interview in Cahiers du Cinema in February 2004). Metaphysics through the major genres (and open spaces) of American cinema and its golden age thanks to the shoes of the greatest dancers of Tap Dance of all time, The Nicholas Brothers trip. The actor and dancer Gregory Hines said that if one would like to do a biopic about them today, this would require CGI to replicate their dance number!

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.
