The Rupture of Promised Land (Or We Can Never Get There) (2020) is the sequel work of the experimental documentary, Those Who Do Not Remember The Past Are Condemned To Repeat It (2020). By composing the materials from FBI Vault and Jonestown Institute, this work consists of several sequences of monologues, confessions, and speechs made by the members and public figures of the United States and the Soviet Union. From the juxtaposition and the tension made by the audio and visual materials of the archive with the video game Outlast 2 which conveys its connection with the mass suicide of Jonestown in 1978, this work intends to project the trajectories of the rupture of the search of Promised Land of the Jonestown members. This rupture, in fact, also implies the disillusionment and disappointment of religious socialism.

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.
