Just as Alphonse Daudet's drama unfolded, unfolded, was consumed around the absence of the beauty, of the unworthy Arlésienne, Bernard Roué's film plays on the appearance / disappearance, the absence / presence fleeting, real, projected? of a very beautiful woman, shiny black body evolving against an equally black background, body that one would like to look at for a long time; frustration which increases desire and sharpens the gaze. Just as Bizet's music extended, made Daudet's text even more sensitive, the image / sound montage produced from extracts from the stage music, leads us, through its interruptions of images, sounds, and accelerations. , its slow-motion, its crescendi, its diminuandi, with relentless precision, to what is at issue: unfulfilled expectation.

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.
