This is the story of an experience practised on the corpse of a young decapitated man. On the left eye's retina a « distinct but ambiguous » image is revealed. The film fictionalises this story using insert titles punctuated by several series of images seen through a Super-8 optical viewer. Its projection rhythm reminds the eyes blinking. Apparently the images have no relation with the described experience. A female voice, off, narrates the memory of the written text. At the same time insert titles and images create a strange polysemy.

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.
