Ether Twist, my first sound film, is a meditation on various properties of light. The soundtrack consists of Natural VLF radio recordings. (Natural VLF (Very-Low-Frequency) Radio - also called Natural Radio - is audio-frequency radio signals of Earth in the approximate range of 200 Hz to beyond 10,000 Hz (10 kHz). They are not man-made but occur naturally in nature.) Their origins vary but include lightning storms, the Earth's magnetic field, and the Aurora Borealis and Australis (Northern & Southern Lights). All of these sources produce an amazing variety of sounds, such as sferics (lightning-stroke static), tweeks, whistlers, choruses (chirping, barking and squawking radio sounds produced by the Sun's solar-wind hitting the Earth's magnetic-field), various kinds of hiss, bizarre wavering-tone emissions, and an endless variety of fascinating radio sounds.

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.
