Entirely hand-processed and hand-painted. This film visually evokes a series of fantasy maps and the imaginary 'sites' visited by following the paths laid out. The process of the film can be interpreted as the content of the film but metaphorically it depicts the impossibility of concretely mapping disease in the human body, especially the emotional consequences. The degradation of the emulsion through bleaching is a parallel to the slow degradation that occurs in the body stricken with cancer. The seemingly un-controlled application of color is an attempt to show the disjunction between the disease and attempts to control/map it out. (Winter 1998-99)

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.
