The regime that dominates modern society has consolidated itself by homogenizing experience through converting all forms of experience into the discursive mode. Types of experience that other cultures accorded respect modernity has rendered vestigial. Moderns know little to nothing of the knowledge that is revealed in prayer, in meditation, or through contact with the body. It has fallen to art to evoke, render and embody areas of experience that modernity has disenfranchised – areas of experience that we cannot categorize. It has fallen to art to assemble, preserve and convey those energies that match no existing forms in modernity’s consciousness.

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.
