Like all children, I played war, I saw the movies, the photographs, I was told stories. This virtual experience of war made up of a variety of diverse elements. Bombarded by images and information it becomes difficult to make any sense of it all. In order to show my life-long attempt to organize this capernaum, it is important to undertake a sort of self-archeology. I wanted the film to be constructed by layers. Aside from indicating the raucous created by all the external information, the interferences between the different strata in the images suggest the mental mechanism linked to research, and to the search for meaning. Venturing into one's own history can be risky.Caught in the middle of reason, dreams, delirium and fantasy it is difficult to see things clearly. Should that stop us from taking action? This is why the experience's subtitle can be read in two different yet complimentary ways : a psychological war film, or a psychological war film.

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.
