Drawing on personal histories and speculative storytelling, The Space Dykes and Other Adventures constructs an alternative archive of queer experience, one not bound to patrilineal or heteronormative lineage. Instead, the film builds a mythology of chosen kinships and transitory connections, remixing elements of memory and fiction into a dynamic, living narrative. Using Ursula K. Le Guin's Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, the vessel-like structure of the film mirrors the way queer people carry fragmented histories, both personal and collective, within themselves. Through its layered textures and chaotic yet intimate sonic landscapes, the film evokes the spectral remains of past relationships, manifesting longing and shame in digital form. The piece becomes a meditation on queer sociality and the ephemeral, fleeting nature of intimacy; how it is recorded, lost, and reformulated in new configurations.

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.
