“The blood began to flow around the handle of the knife and dripped onto the ground.” (Stephen King, Carrie) This film follows an unfolding news spectacle surrounding the story of a man who stabs two others in a public place. The image that captures this involuntarily sordid spectacle is replaced by video fragments of the cinephile who has saved one of these lives. This allows the film to adopt a subjective point of view. The instinctive and cinematic imaginary deployed by this perspective challenges the duration of his agony in order to help him survive... “I think that each of us, simply by living, film with our eyes and by navigating our memories make a sort of montage; each of us makes the movie of our own life.” (Revue Jeune Cinéma n° 226, Silvano Agosti interviewed by Andrée Tournès in Pesaro the 13th of June 1993) Awarded at the 20th Paris Festival for Different and Experimental Cinema

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.
