How has television influenced the formation of our individual and collective identity? Are television melodramas actually the antithesis of sentimental education? The true mediatic moral is revealed here, in a countercultural zapping that simultaneously weaves and breaks the canons and clichés that prevail in our society, where it is still difficult to find a space for diversity. Since the 80's, television programs in Latin America have been dominated by telenovelas, an audiovisual format that represents, for the average viewer, an ideal life in which sentimental relationships have happy endings and antagonistic characters pay for their misdeeds. But how has this television format really influenced the perception of our identity? And the roles that men and women play in real life? This audiovisual remix tries to unveil the dogma intrinsic to the television melodrama and to that mediatic morality where many clichés take a clear form, spreading virally in societies that question little or nothing about the information that the world of entertainment imposes on them.

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.
