L’arbre qui gémit, could be a Persian proverb, When the man lost its soul, the tree moans. A couple, him, young, her less. What ritual of love are they being prepared for? Their clothes are taken off. Their bodies are washed. We dress them in pure white. They are brought outside the city. Two pits were dug up. Further off, two piles of rocks in pyramides. The man and woman are buried until their shoulders. Their heads are covered with hoods. They are put to death by stoning. Official site: marcel-hanoun.com

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.
