Screening Copy: 16 mm
Silent film shot in 16 mm in the 1970s by actor Denis Develoux, mainly known for the main role he played in Yvan Lagrange's L'idole des jeunes (1976). In Homicide, in a neo-impressionist style (Dulac, Epstein, Kirsanoff), a cyclical structure presents the parallel destinies of characters with hieratic behaviors, having no links between them. They symbolize "states": the heterosexual couple, the homosexual couple, female loneliness, offering little prospect of happiness or fulfillment. The film gives off an impression of disenchantment which at the same time testifies to an era and transcends it.

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.
