"On mostly motionless shots of Paris the text, a true musical poem, speaks of Berenice, Queen of the Jews repudiated for political reasons and the city of Caesarea in Palestine. The film is a plastic composition which mixes statuary elements, voices and music." Bernard Sarrut "Les Mains Négatives" and "Césarée" are made from unused shots of "Le Navire Night".
The film was restored in 4K by the Cinémathèque francaise in 2024 with the collaboration of Jean Mascolo and the Collectif Jeune Cinéma from the original 35mm negatives.

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.
