Yuri raised two little birds whose names were Mystic and Surrealistic, One day, Surrealistic was dead. This film is mainly about YURI who wishes SURREALISTIC would come to life again and God Horus who holds a ritual for the revival. This film challenges every existing concept such as “Living things will die certainly someday,” and depicts the miraculous fusion of YURI, MYSTIC and SURREALISTIC after overcoming barriers of species and sex with fantastical images and beautiful colors. [ DIRECTOR‘S STATEMENT ] “SYMPHONY No.9” resounded by my side when Surrealistic of the little bird that I kept died in December, 2001. I made this work to revive Surrealistic and to kill the existence of TIME by my own hands. Moreover, this work was the first attempt to visualize my core ”yuRi=paRadox“. The colors of white, black, red and blue (1 red woman=3 blue men) are a part of the basic elements that compose the core of “yuRi=paRadox”.

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.
