La mystification de Gylfi (“The Mystification of Gylfi”) is the first chapter of the most ancient piece of Icelandic literature, the “Edda” by Snorri Sturluson. Set in Valhalla, the gods narrate the origins of the Universe to King Gylfi through a series of optical illusions. The gods’ voices are replaced by Lara’s. She has just turned ten and is reading the “Edda” for the first time. While Lara discovers the Norse realm through the ancient myth, the camera explores the contemporary landscapes of Iceland.

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.
