In late 2011 I arrived to Sete Cidades, Azores. I recall Kant’s ideas on the sublime. We experience the sublime when our imagination fails to comprehend the greatness of natural events, by means of determinate concepts of the understanding, but supplants this failure with a delight stemming from its ability to grasp these aspects of nature by virtue of an idea of reason. That idea pertains to the supersensible and human moral nature. To experience the sublime: sensibility, a body, being human and being finite are pre-requirements. Was it a lack of sensibility? While filming I felt the urge to formalize landscape through language games. It is the sight that makes things valuable. “Encounters with Landscape 3x” happens to be this exercise. Landscape becomes a dangerous playground. When one is young one is daring and stupid, you grow older and you tempt to lose the daringness and get less stupid. We change the rules as we go along.

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.
