Original language: Anglais Screening Copy: DVD
(co-produced with Lori Felker) A high contrast correspondance film, a science non-fiction fairy tale. Things are never as polarized as they appear - Circling and searching, falling and landing, entering and exiting; actually lies between seasons, states, planes and worlds. Correspondents: Robert Todd (Boston) and Lori Felker (Chicago) The correspondance: - RT and LF shoot together, same location, two cameras. - Retreating to their respective home bases, RT sends LF a roll of film, giving her no parameters for shooting. - RT shoots while LF shoots. - LF sends RT her film for processing. - RT sends LF a copy of their processed film rolls. - RT and LF watch the film copies simoultaneously while on the phone. - Repeat 4 times. - Last round: each shoots a roll in his/her own city, then they meet in one location with these shot rolls in hand, which they swap and double-expose without revealing the contents of the original exposure. - RT and LF meet to edit together three times, and within this timeframe they concoct a title for the project. - RT and LF meet once more to create the soundtrack as a live performance.

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.
