« La beauté du Diable is first a garden full of stifled statues (By Michel Jouniac). This bodies are stranded between sensuality, damnation and sacredness. The film appeal lies in the exactness of camera editing, precise as a musical composition. In a particular rythm, pictures burst out like a volley of quavers just before a short moment of silence, a half note. Then we are presented with an interior full of things, furniture, photographs and drawings whose more and more pregnant eroticism, still haunts statues and a body that lies there. Here, the formal development reaches a superior ornamental quality thanks to its splicing. Crystals, golden lace, mutlticoloured lightshows enable to tap the width of the chromatic field of the Super 8 film with a baroque subtlety. » Cyril Hurel

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.
