Lombair (Lumbar) is an abstract dance video which presents movement in its most elementary colors and tonalities. In this experimental capture of movement we meet the body as a landscape, both interior and exterior simultaneously. It is a choreography of light in which we are invited to explore the physicality of both the night and the silence. The images for “Lumbar” were filmed during a research residency with Australian performer and choreographer Alice Cummins at Performing Arts Forum (PAF) in St-Erme, France in August 2010. The movement generated by the bodies produced abstract images that led to an editing rhythm based on the breath. They led also to a longing for thick and transparent colors, reflecting the reality of the night the images were filmed in. The sound material was produced and edited from the voices of the two performers on this dense countryside night.

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.
