Facing the Gallery

Elena Duque

Experimental film | Espagne | S8 mm | 1.37 | color | mono | 2014 | 04' 00"

Screening Copy: S8 mm , DCP

A film in the spirit of this quote by Florence Foster Jenkins: “People may say I can't sing, but no one can ever say I didn't sing”. The title is a pun: in Spanish, “vivir de cara a la galería” means living for the appearances. But, literally, it also means living in a room with a gallery like the one I lived in 2014. Sound on separate track (for celluloid only)

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.
