These excerpts come from film archives that I collected over the years, films that I found at the flea market, which were given to me by the Scottish Film and Television Archives when I worked for the Edinburgh Film Festival. Some of these images were shot by me or diverted as the Situationists. The formats of these extracts are all different: 16mm film, Standard 8, Super 8 and video. The soundtrack is composed of sounds and diverted dialogues. I guess you can say that it is a kind of Benjaminian phantasmagoria, kissing, tracing the entire 20th century. One of the other "meanings" of this trilogy is to show the nesting of aviation technology and cinema - cinema and the progress of military aviation develops at the same time and very quickly. (...)

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.
