Both cinema and dream are our most frequent link to illusion and lie. Whereas dream is reconstructing the world, cinema waking dream is interpreting the appearance of things. Art and cinema as a roundabout way through which dream finds the path to reality, art and dreams, same lies telling the truth. In the book nine of the Odyssey, Ulysses prince of the liars, begins the tale of his journey. Inherited from oral tradition, the Odyssey keeps the trace of an archaic dream, the dream of the thwart and ceaselessly delayed coming back close to his own kind or to his beloved one. The trace of wandering among his lies and illusions. Lie and dream as salutary products and vehicles of our senses wandering.

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.
