Life shivers as the ground beneath and sky above tremble. The floral life that has taken root over the decades in the lot next door to me has recently had its inevitable fate as denizens of an urban landscape: what we euphamistically term "redevelopment" translates as certain death for the squatters of the world we like to call our own. This film brings arborial life that has inspired me over the years to the fore, in a piece that's title is meant as much to reflect its structure as to underscore the portentious nature of its subject.

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.
