Toronto is a place where I became a child again. Because I wasn't mastering the english language well, I had to hang on to my gaze to be in touch with my environment there. I then took my camera to tell the city I was living in, and the change of the seasons in Canada. We cross the beaches of Ontario lake under LSD, we come across an Italian religious procession, and a park under the snow. I film Jewish families and young folks who take the ferry for the islands, little girls dancing and drawing circles in the sand, and children who explore and disappear into the woods.

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.
