‘Oroburus’s symbol is a snake which bites its own tail ‘from the one to the one,’ encompassing everything reduced to one, the unit. The snake forms a circle which is a hole. The great circle of the cosmic unit which is everything and contains nothing. This film is a ritualistic fantasy based on Anthony of Egypt’s historical experience and Flaubert’s ‘St. Antoine’s Temptation’ to which extraordinary forces have been added, make-up and the streets of N..The highly coloured and sacred actors in this film all come from experimental N… theatres. Meredith Monk and his company make fabulous appearances and magic shows. The banquet with death is certainly very memorable to those who see it.’ T… Translation: Louise Jablonowska

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.
