The purpose of this film is twofold. At a first level, it is a study of colors, which appeared during my work as a painter and later as a director. In the film, the medium exists in its final form, as projected light, appealing to the qualities of sensitivity in the projection of white light. Each medium contains its own set of primary elements, allowing for logical manipulation of colors. I also use repository content, demonstrating an interest in storytelling. The body of the film consists of nine segments, each oriented towards the problem of colors.

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.
