The filmmaker uses the webcam as a critical tool applied to the television. He denounces the power of the televisual image's material. The television's material is damaged and sublimated by an esthetic of blur which is based on the one hand on several choices of filmmaking such as the camera selected (the webcam gives a very low definition), the high saturation of the colors, high contrast and luminosity, the low shutter speed, and the out of focus, and on the other hand on the editing (many loops and jump cut...). The Jacques Brel's love song creates with these radical images an ironical audiovisual poem.

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.
