Between documentary and painting in movement, poetry and magic, these film portraits intend to capture the spirit of each of its subjects, as well as that of a genetration (early 80’s). The portraits present generally Mexican and New York City artists, friends and contemporaries of the filmmaker. (Original music by Nicolayevsky, except for one portrait.) - Nicolayevsky now continues to portray mostly contemporary artists and friends. Thanks to a grant from the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, he has completed a second collection of film and video portraits, where we are able to witness the presence of some filmmakers, video artists, and other media personalities, such as curators, directors of Film Festivals, etc. Nicolayevsky’s vision offers a variety of aesthetic, documentary and critical elements of the present day that without question will grant valuable richness into the future.

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.
