A rereading of my artistic viewpoint with regards to an intimate wound, this filmic introspection is constructed from a quotation from Querelle de Brest by Jean Genet and from a text that I had written, read and associated with certain excerpts from my videos. I develop the idea that a violent sexual humiliation is the cause of a painful wandering which leads to a voluntary closing down into the confines of oneself in order to protect oneself from the violence of the other. Subsequently, there arises a desire to escape and a thirst for vengeance which is materialised in the act of creation which enables one to appropriate the stigmata in pushing them to their most extreme consequence and, in doing so, recover one’s voice by way of an orifice which is usually deprived of such expression.

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.
