Screening Copy: 35 mm
A visual portrait of the disabled avant garde filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin, as represented by his environment. The film is a very personal movement through Steve’s past and present, as seen through the house he has lived in for the last 30 years and the objects within it that both surround and represent him- as an individual living with a disability, and as an artist-filmmaker who has enjoyed a long and successful career. Steve’s own vast and unique creative output dedicated to exposing the prejudices and difficulties encountered by disabled individuals has inspired the treatment of this piece. From the pure and honest hand held cinematography, to the field recordings of Steve’s house as he navigates his way around his studio, his home, his meeting place, his editing suite, his working environment: his house.

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.
