“Freude” is a German word. In English it means “Joy”. We have coined this term from Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” which is the choral part of his Symphony No. 9 and lyric of which was originally written by the German poet Johann Christoph Friedrich Von Schiller. “Ode to Joy” says about peace, brotherhood and divinity. Many leading musicologists consider it one of the greatest works in western music.  Council of Europe and European Union made it as their official anthem. And such examples can be given so many. Freude! ((n)joy!) is a short experimental musical film which depicts what the  filmmaker is observing around him when he is listening “Ode to Joy” in his mind. This film is consisted of the found footage taken by the filmmaker in his iPhone during the several moments of his life in geographically different places of his country.

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.
