Sultan, sustained by the energy of a gay pride march (Paris, Gay Pride March. June 2007) standing on a frail Libanese vessel rocking over the Haussmanian buildings, shows himself in a celebration dance transmitting the experience of feast, of passion and ecstasy. We share these rare and precious moments of the man who dances offering joy, sensuality and beauty to the audience and to the man who films. This film shows diffidence towards taboos, exploding sensations, merging cultures and religions and opens gates to the sacred. An incantatory music inspired by sufi canticles enhances the film with a ritual and cosmological dimension and the body of the Libanese diva sounds like a prayer to the glorious body of the Sacrified, that is to say the dancer.

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.
